Konstellation’s $DARC Makes History as FIRST Crypto Project in Powerboat Racing 🏆⛵🚀
Konstellation has entered the sports sponsorship business, bringing the power of the crypto-verse to powerboat racing! Konstellation continues its quest to increase awareness for blockchain and DeFi by officially entering the sports sponsorship business — the wonderful world of powerboat racing! For the first time in powerboat racing history, a crypto project was a partner and sponsor in a top tier season race! Konstellation Network (DARC) and $DARC made powerboat racing history and crypto history with this unique partnership.
Konstellation and $DARC made powerboat racing history and crypto history with this unique partnership. As the team explored new ways to spread awareness for $DARC and build more excitement for the $DARC ecosystem, the ecosystem team had the opportunity to sponsor a powerboat team in a race with one of the team’s members, Joris Colleret (#MVP)! Read more below about the race, the powerboat, and the sponsorship below. Special shout out to Team Magaur we look forward to the future of crypto and powerboat racing!
$DARC and Konstellation were represented last year at the 2 races of the French championship in 2021. More than 50 000 spectators were present to see the races. At the 24 hours of Rouen, there are around 200,000 people that attend the races during the two days. For smaller sprint races, there are around 15,000 –25,000 spectators.

This is the first time that a crypto project is involved in powerboat racing! $DARC and Konstellation were represented last year at the 2 races of the French championship in 2021. More than 50 000 spectators were present to see the races. At the 24 hours of Rouen, there are around 200,000 people that attend the races during the two days. For smaller sprint races, there are around 15,000 –25,000 spectators.
What is powerboat? The boats in this category weigh 360kg and have 60hp. These boats can go up to 130 km/h which is more than any other regular boats on earth. The F1 can go up to 220 km/h. In term of race format, the endurance races are either 24 hours or 2x6 hours. The sprint races are around 20 laps which take 25–30 min to complete in total.
What’s next with the sponsorship?
The first partnership was for a year, and due to uncertainty of race dates in 2022, the next steps are unknown. However, the Konstellation team will explore additional opportunities as they become available! There are bigger categories and other championship series that will be explored as well. There is also a new full electric championship (E1 series) created by the same founders of Formula E. The championship’s first year will be in 2023 or 2024 and we are looking at it with races all over the world ( Italy, China, Brazil, India, USA, and more!)
