Circuit Racing + Mercury Racing

In powerboat circuit racing, lightweight race boats tear around a two-pin course together, dodging spray and wakes in a thrilling show for fans. Mercury Racing Apex Series competition outboards are the engines of choice in circuit-racing series around the world, including UIM Formula classes and APBA OPC tunnel boat racing, and endurance events.

Offshore Racing + Mercury Racing

In offshore powerboat competition racers compete against each other and the elements, battling the often-unpredictable wakes, waves and swells of the open water. Mercury Racing supplies race-prepared engines, drives, components and expertise to professional and amateur racers competing in a number of offshore classes and series worldwide.

Drag Racing + Mercury Racing

Powerboat drag racing may be the most-elemental form of competition on the water – two boats, a standing start, and the first to the finish line is the winner. Mercury outboards power some of the quickest, fastest drag racers on the water in regional and national competition.
