Outerlimits Prove American Muscle At P1 Time Trial!

The Lucas Oil- Outerlimit boat took the chequered flag in this afternoon's time trial on the river Trave, with two high-speed sprints that left the opposition in its wake. It was a timely reminder by the all American boat, piloted by Joe Sgro and Mike Fiore that Outerlimits Powerboats has the outright speed to win races in this highly competitive Evolution class. Its quickest time over two runs was 42.77 seconds, three seconds faster than its nearest rival, OSG.



In SuperSport, Briton's Drew Langdon and Jan Falkowski set the standards in the Cummins-powered Buzzi FB42. A blisteringly quick sprint of 49.46 seconds on its first run was just too quick for its rivals led by championship leaders Roscioli Hotels and Sun Lik Beer.



The Friday afternoon time trial has become a popular feature of the Powerboat P1 German Grand Prix and thousands lined the waterfront to enjoy the show. Although a short sprint event provides few clues to a boat's potential in the weekend's demanding endurance races, the straight line-speed of Buzzi Bullet and Lucas Oil Outerlimits sends a clear message to their respective championship rivals.
