Stark sets Fastest F1H2o Grand Prix of Portugal Extra Free Practice time

John Moore on 17th May 2019

Erik Stark was fastest in the F1H2o Grand Prix of Portugal Extra Free Practice with a 43.10 second lap which compared to Shaun Torrente’s 2018 Pole Setting lap time of 41.68.

Stark told F1H2o’s Nigel Quilter after the session:

Everything feels very good and it was nice to have a session and go through everything that you planned.

We have something left.

We went a little safe today and will make some adjustments.

Today was really all about getting as many laps in as we could and for sure tomorrow we will find more.

2018 UIM F1H2o World Champion Torrente was satisfied:

We ran some really safe laps, I was very happy with the boat and we fight tomorrow.

There was no point for us to run a Grand Prix today!

Philippe Chiappe jumped up into third place in the closing stages with a 43.69s lap time and commented after:

We are very happy with the first session.

It wasn’t easy because it was very windy.

This was the first opportunity to compare to where we are with the others so we feel in a good position and see how qualifying goes.
