Looks interesting, hopefully it will get to  a point where they can run for the record.

Another team working towards the same goal, often mentioned by Rosco McGlashan:

The approach they're taking, using scale models and physical testing of active feedback/controlled hydrofoils seems quite
reasonable and prudent to me.  I wish them luck, and hope they don't run out of money before succeeding with this project's
goal(s).

Not to mention the (statistical/historical) data regarding safety.  I don't want anybody to crash while racing . . . but have learned to accept the continuing possibility of it happening.
