In the first timed session on the Saturday Team Abu
Dhabi’s Shaun Torrente maintained his strangle hold
of the ‘top spot’ in the listings, posting the fastest
time of 38.34s in the morning’s one hour official
practice.
The session developed into a three way dice between
Torrente, CTIC F1 Shenzhen China driver Philippe
Chiappe and Victory Team’s Alex Carella, the trio
trading best times with Torrente at the top of the
time sheets when the chequered flag came out.
Maverick F1 Racing’s Erik Stark joined the battle late
in the session to go fourth quickest with a 38.86s
lap, just 0.52s off the pace with Emirates Racing’s
Bartek Marszalek running strongly in fifth ahead of
F1 Atlantic driver Duarte Benavente.
In BRM Qualifying Sweden’s Erik Stark produced a
brilliant set of runs in the final session to grab his
third career-pole and would lead the boats in the
rolling start in Sunday’s UIM F1H2O Grand Prix of
London.
Philippe Chiappe and Peter

celebration for the CTIC F1
