Laura drove with steel and determination, which was required as she had the threat of Andrè Faye Solvang constantly hunting her down.
Solvang, who’d had his boat extensively repaired over night following a coming together with Kärol Soodla just didn’t have the speed of the start dock to challenge Laura from Latvia.
As it was, the 2019 UIM GT30 world champion took UIM Silver with another lady driver, Soodla taking the bronze.
The racing at the font could be frenetic at times and it was great to see three committed competitors giving their all in the pursuit of championship glory.
