Formidable New Competitor: The Spirit of Qatar
Marc Granet, driver of the legendary Miss Geico Superboat, welcomes the competition. “We’re really happy we’ll have a high-speed boat like ours out there again,” said Granet recently.
According to Sheikh Hassan, who leads the Qatar Marine Sports Association team, having another Mystic boat in the extreme/turbine class will raise the level of competition and excitement tremendously. The Mystic has dominated the extreme/turbine class over the past five years and having another Mystic boat as a competitor will make the 2013 season the most exciting in powerboat racing history.
The new Spirit of Qatar, like the famous Miss Geico 113 Mystic, will be powered by a pair of T55-L7C turbine engines, each delivering around 2,900 horsepower. The specially modified Lycoming engines were originally built to power the Chinook helicopter and are perfect for marine racing because they only weigh 700 pounds each.

The Miss Geico Superboat has captured an amazing five consecutive World Championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, often reaching speeds in excess of 210 miles per hour. Can this amazing winning streak continue with another Mystic competitor? Only time will tell.
