    Re: 2008 - ROUEN 24 hour race. One really special E-Tec (LIQUID NIRVANA)

    Just curious. Are those two stick-on push-button lights on the back of the cowling put there for running lights? Awesome looking motor

    Re: 2008 - ROUEN 24 hour race. One really special E-Tec (e-tec)

    Its a non stop 24 hour race. Therefore they need lights. It is night in Rouen right now. Full throttle in rough water (230kph at times). Greatest boat race in the world. 1 x E-Tec & 13 x Mercs in Class 3. They are into the 6th hour. E-Tec running 5th.

    Its all tactics now. Things really get serious in about the 16th hour onward.

    HERE IS A LIVE INTERNET FEED of the RACE!!!!

    Here is the 2007 video trailer of the race

    That's 9th overal of all the different classes and engines that ran.

    In its own class, the E-TEC finished 4th.
