After the excitement of the Michigan City Great Lakes Grand Prix, UIM Class 1 teams head to the opposite side of Lake Michigan and the inaugural Mercury Racing MidWest Challenge.
The three-day event is being held in partnership with Mercury Racing, the manufacturer of the twin-turbocharged 1100HP Competition engines used by the Class 1 boats. Based at nearby Fond du Lac, Mercury Racing dominates worldwide powerboat racing and the production of high-performance consumer and race marine products.
Sheboygan is on the western shore of Lake Michigan about 50 miles north of Milwaukee and has a population of around 50,000.
International marine motorsport promoter Powerboat P1, the Formula One Championship Series, and Mercury Racing, a Fond du Lac, Wis.-based manufacturer of high-performance marine propulsion, selected Sheboygan, Wis., as the host city of an inaugural powerboat race event scheduled for August 11-13, 2023.
The Mercury Racing MidWest Challenge, a festival and celebration of powerboat racing, will feature the top categories of U.S. powerboat racing including the UIM Class 1 World Championship, F1 Powerboat Championship, and various offshore racing classes. More than 40 race teams are expected to participate with competitors from around the world, including Australia, Italy, Sweden, Canada, the United Kingdom and Norway.
“
We are very excited to host this event right here in Sheboygan, and bring power boat racing back to our city. We love showing off our pristine shoreline, and our number one natural resource, Lake Michigan. This is another great example of why Sheboygan is known as the Malibu of the Midwest.
Ryan Sorenson
Mayor of the City of Sheboygan

“When we toured cities to host the event, Sheboygan stood out due to its beautiful water, lodging options, outdoor recreation space, and a local government group that was eager to learn more about powerboat racing and host this one-of-a-kind event,” added Stuart Halley, general manager of Mercury Racing. “Our race support team and collection of marine products are featured in powerboat races around the world and now there’s going to be a powerboat race weekend in the MidWest, less than an hour from our corporate headquarters.”
