The race course was on the open unprotected water of the Mediterranean..We could not even practice because of the large 3 to 4 feet waves. I remember they forced the F3 class to race and my brother Lennart won.
The F1-V8 race in Ampolla was canceled.
First picture is the race course the second the 1983 F1-V8 calendar.

oh coool, i search the calendar, position race, points table f1 v8 1983 1984 1985 but 1986 1987 1988 1989 it's more difficult for me because the championship v8 f1 just in usa, not press tv or book, in france, next time i'll show you my archive book f1v8 with some pitures, mickael

There were 2 hand made 2l cross flow V-6 made for the '73 Paris race. They were sand cast blocks with special welded up cranks. The production block didn't exist yet.Quote:

I see the one Greg Jacobsen has has 2.4 xflow water jacket covers on it, so same bore spacing
The 3 liter V6 race looper is a way bigger block than the 2 liter V6 race looper.

Boat racing in Sweden 1948..Look at all the Evinrude / Johnson powered boats. NO Mercury's..:)
Thanks Per Benson.

Reference: Post #2015 - Pictured is a 3.3L "more modern" Looper sitting beside a CCC. There is over 4" difference in the height as well as the depth of these motors. Look at the carbs and see the bore centerline difference. This looper has Dave Bush's sleeve and piston kit installed, CCC carbs on a Wayne Taylor X-Front, and Yamaha ignition. The CCC will adorn Mark Rotharmel's Canadian Motor Sport Hall of Fame inductee boat and turn the display motor into a REAL motor. HP and Torque on the Looper is scary. Will have to drive it in Vintage with restraint! Just ignore the Mercury's in the background (2.4 Carb + 2.0 EFI) as they go on Paul Heathman's Miller American hull built by Jim Caldwell.

hello, as expected from the boat books that i'm trying to do, no other site to share f1 v8 photos, 6hours paris, 24hours rouen?, sorry i'm greedy !!!, thank you for photosAttachment 401152Attachment 401150
Yes, for most people it is hard to imgine a time before Mercurys, but there was even a time before Evinrude racing motors as well.Quote:

The Jacoby, Neal and Crandall boats listed would have been made in the US.
The photos from the FL vintage of the CCC are excellent but I don't recall what thread they're on.Quote:

What kind of motor was a "Trim" ?
This is way before me but I think Trim was a Swedish built outboard.Quote:

Kicco won in F3 and F1-V8 1985 driving the #19 Molinari/Nordica/Evinrude V8.
We lost Kicco a few years ago in a boating accident but he will always be remembered as a good friend.

Lasse, did you ever race at Arendal in Sweden? The county where I live in Maryland is named after Anne of Arendal who became an English princess.
First Mark75H, Thank you for the Trim info. I know you are so good at racing/outboard history long time ago.Quote:

Maybe there is an Arendal in Sweden but not sure.
I did a story years ago about my racing in Norway..Swedish only but Google is pretty good now.

Did Bob Herring ever race in F1 v8?
Did he ever set any speed records in F1 v8 tunnel boats?
The answer is yes to boat of your questions.Quote:

how about the speed records?
I have a long newspaper story about Bob Hering's record 1986, but cant find it now. I think he run 169 MPH.
This is the boat.

A better picture of Bob Hering's record setting boat of course with Evinrude V8 power..No other racing outboard have the power to do it..:):iagree:
