Outboard Hydroplane Racing Is Hongkong's Newest Sport
Plans are now underway to introduce the international sport of outboard hydroplane
racing to Hongkong.
Already highly popular in the United Kingdom and on the Continent, as well as in the United States and Australia, hydroplane racing offers thrills for both participant and spectator alike. Yet, unlike sports car racing, for example, hydroplane racing is not expensive.
Hongkong designed and built hydroplane starting on trial run at Tai Tum Bay. The driver is R.W.
Clegg.

Other classes are À (motors of from 175 ce to 250 cc), B (250 ee to 350 ce), C (350 cc to 500 eet and D (500 ce lo 660 cc).
Of these, B class-in which sprode of up to 60 mph are possible--is probably the most popular abroad, followed by A class (up to 50 mph).
