The 2013 APBA Gold Cup will be a 2-day event: July 13-14.
See on-board video from the H1 hydroplanes during the 2012 Gold Cup.
The APBA Gold Cup, officially named the APBA Challenge Cup, is among the most prestigious of motor sport trophies, in part because it is the oldest active trophy in all of motor sports. The trophy was first awarded in 1904.
See Unlimited Hydroplanes race at speeds near 200 miles per hour! Our event covers a large area on the Detroit River, so there are many different viewing areas and ticket plans. Come and join us for a casual picnic or an exciting view from the water's edge.
General Admission is $15 to $45, Reserved Seating begins at $60. More details in the Fan Guide.
