Add in the threat of storms and you’ve got a race that’s as much mental and physical endurance test as it is a speed contest. Among the fleet, the 50-year-old WhiteHawk — a 70,000-pound veteran — stands out, with its crew focused on savoring the experience and staying well-fed. Despite the chaos, seasoned teams with proven track records are ready to rise to the challenge — making this a race like no other.
