I like the "Lets see how long you can go" format.
It is kind of like SAW racing, but instead of all out speed, you are going for highest number of laps.
It would certainly pay off for the guy who was set up with the most efficient boat.
All the little things would really pay off. Free drive line, good cell management, correct prop, well designed hull, and even driver skill.

I don't think that would be such a great idea. Can you imagine a 12 cell offshore tug running for an hour?I like the "Lets see how long you can go" format.
Perhaps a cap on the time would be a good idea.
I think 15 min. would be reasonable.
Maybe a speed minimum? AKA your boat has to be able to do one complete lap of the course in 30 seconds max.
(even if you have a fast enough boat but can not do a lap in 30 seconds, perhaps you should not be driving with others!)
The tug would be self limiting as it would never complete anywhere near as many laps as the faster boats even if it did take an hour to do it. There is a point where battery capacity will not out-do speed.

The only problem with this is that with the NIMH cellsI like the "Lets see how long you can go" format.
