V8 Supercar star Russell Ingall will swap his Caltex Falcon for one of the fastest watercraft in the world in Sydney on Sunday.

Ingall will be strapped into Bill Barry-Cotter’s Class-1 off-shore Maritimo powerboat on Botany Bay and will reach speeds of up to 250kph.

Ingall completed a “dunk test” with CareFlight Safety Services, the training arm of RACQ CareFlight, at the Miami pool on the Gold Coast in preparation for Sunday’s ride last month.
