The 2016 UIM F1 H2O World Championship is the 33rd season of Formula 1 Powerboat racing. The season is scheduled to consist of seven races, beginning in Dubai, UAE on 4 March 2016, and ending in Sharjah, UAE on 16 December 2016, although initial plans indicated a ten race calendar.[1][2]

Philippe Chiappe, driving for the CTIC China Team, enters the season as defending double world champion after he won his second title in as many years in 2015.[3]

Season calendar

A ten-race preliminary calendar for the 2016 championship was revealed in a press release on the sport's official website in January.[1] Amongst regular fixtures Abu Dhabi and Sharjah were two new races, with the championship scheduled to make its first appearances in Dubai and Croatia.[13] Races in France and Portugal returned after their re-introduction in 2015, although the Portuguese race switched venues from Porto back to its traditional location Portimão.[14] China returned to having two races on the calendar, an arrangement last seen in 2010 when three races from the country featured. An additional two rounds, expected to be in Asia, were left vacant by the announcement to be confirmed at a later date. Speculation linked one of these vacant slots to a proposed race in Phuket, Thailand,[15] which had provisionally held a slot on the 2015 calendar before the round was cancelled mid-way through the year. A race in Macau was also under negotiation to fill the other calendar slot.[16] Ultimately however, neither the Thai nor Macau race materialised, while the Croatian event was also cancelled, leaving the calendar at seven confirmed races for the year.
