hemid-termraces inHarbin and
Liuzhou in the People’s Republic
of China were outstanding
and produced two standout
performances
by
Team
Sweden’s Erik Stark and Team
Abu Dhabi’s Alex Carella.
Fromrelative obscurity as a title
contender after the opening
two rounds, Stark put himself
right back into contention
following a perfect weekend in
the first of the China double-
headers, backinguphis stunning
pole in BRM Qualifying on the
Saturday with a brilliant drive
in the UIM F1H2O Grand Prix of Harbin to take his maiden Grand Prix
victory and then followed up with the runners-up slot in Liuzhou.
But in the UIMF1H2OGrand Prix of Liuzhou it was all about the brilliance
and heroics of Carella who, after sealing a 14th career pole and his second
of the season, pushed himself to the limits of complete exhaustion to take
the Grand Prix victory and match his pole win tally, but more crucially
extend his lead in the title race.
