In a last minute change of plan, America’s Brent Dillard will be racing a Moore hull during the UIM F2 Grand Prix of Lithuania this weekend.
Dillard had been testing Alberto Comparato’s World Championship winning DAC hull in Italy earlier this week, however, on balance, he felt that the Moore boat that he campaigned last season was better suited to him when he needed high speed in Kaunus.
His radio man, Matt Palfreyman told me today:
The team will be back testing the DAC in Italy soon ready for the next race of the championship in Tonsberg, Norway.
Both qualifying and the race will be live streamed via Powerboat Racing World’s Facebook page.
