N2 RPM

Turbines have a maximum rating for “N2” – the RPM of the “Power Turbine” wheel. By rule, this cannot exceed 110% of the maximum rated RPM for more than 5 seconds. N2 RPM is recorded for later analysis by referees and exceeding it can result in DSQ. All turbine boats have lights that flash in the cockpit to warn the driver when they are over the 110% limit
