Heads-up everyone 👋

Right now there’s a widespread Cloudflare outage affecting a huge portion of the internet (started around 6:40 am ET today, November 18, 2025).
Because we use Cloudflare for DNS, security, and performance (like millions of other sites), our website and dashboard login are temporarily down or extremely slow for some of you.

Important: This is NOT an issue on our side — it’s a global Cloudflare incident also hitting sites like X (Twitter), ChatGPT, Spotify, Amazon, and many more.

Cloudflare’s engineers are actively working on it and have already started deploying fixes. Most of these events are resolved within a few hours.

Evinrude V8 Formula 1 WORLD CHAMPIONS Sticker 01/11/2024

The OMC F1-V8 racing circuit, spearheaded by Charlie Strang, emerged in the early 1980s as a response to the exclusion of Wankel outboards from European races. The V-8 "fishing motor" developed by OMC was adapted into a racing version, which then competed in the newly formed Formula One class (previously known as class OZ) in Europe.

Despite the impressive performance of the V-8 engines, OMC faced challenges in Europe, including extravagant race promoters and concerns about safety in tunnel boat design. In 1986, OMC decided to withdraw from Formula One racing in Europe and focus on racing in the USA, the primary market for large outboards. The aim was to secure sponsorship to fund racing activities and promote the product through racing.

However, after engaging a sports promotion company in the USA, it was found that outboard racing had little public interest, making sponsorship difficult to obtain. Undeterred, OMC proceeded to establish a USA Formula One circuit with key considerations, such as a series of 6 to 8 races open to global drivers, races at metropolitan locations, and substantial prize purses.

The US F-1 series commenced in 1986 with over $600,000 in prize money for seven races, attracting European and US teams. The pinnacle event was the Pittsburgh race, where large crowds required police assistance to maintain safe viewing areas. The US F-1 series persisted for about four years, featuring top drivers from the US and Europe.

Despite the quality of the races and media coverage, the public interest fell short of justifying the associated costs. TV networks concluded that while F-1 events were impressive, boat racing couldn't generate enough attention to garner adequate advertising income, especially compared to car racing.

In 1990, recognizing the diminishing returns on investment, Charlie Strang decided to discontinue the OMC F-1 circuit. Instead, efforts were redirected towards grassroots racing, focusing on producing 2, 3, and 4 cylinder engines for OPC and sponsoring activities in those classes.

Today, the legacy of the V-8 Johnsons and Evinrudes is overshadowed by the record books, with Bob Wartinger's 176.586 mph speed record of 1989 standing out, achieved with a V-8 on a three-point hydro. The OMC F-1 circuit remains a noteworthy chapter in powerboat racing history, a testament to the vision and efforts of the team led by Charlie Strang.
