For the first time Honda is to dedicate a stand to their unique Formula 4-Stroke one-design offshore race series at the forthcoming London Boat Show in January.

Launched in 1999, the Formula 4-Stroke championship series now boasts some 36 teams across two racing categories - the 150hp and the 225hp classes. Honda's boulevard stand (B100) will display examples of these popular craft alongside some of the Channel 4 and Sky Sports television coverage of the 2005 racing season.

Visitors will be able to meet current competitors and find out how they can buy and race a boat for as little as £15,000. The stand will be attended by event organisers, press officers and competitors, providing wannabe racers with all the information they need to take part.
