Scott Gillman’s Victory Team were busy preparing their challenge for 2017 F1H2o honours in Portimão.

The 4 time UIM F1 World Champion who has only recently taken over running the Dubai outfit told Powerboat Racing World this morning that he is looking forward to working with fellow countryman Shaun Torrente.

Torrente will be campaigning a Moore Formula hull, a similar design that has taken the top spot in the last 4 seasons.

His team mate however, Ahmed Al Hameli, will be using a Massimo Roggiero designed and built BaBa boat.

Roggiero confirmed that Al Hameli will be running a 2016 design with modifications including narrowing the tunnel.

With two uber fast team mates we had to ask Gillman if there would be team orders;

Don’t hit each other!
