Torrente vows to go full throttle

Team Abu Dhabi’s Shaun Torrente said he will pull no punches while chasing his maiden world crown when action gets under way at the Grand Prix of Sharjah — the seventh and final round of the 2018 UIM F1H2O World Championship this weekend.

Going into the final race of the season, the Miami resident has had six starts in Sharjah that have culminated into four podiums as he leads the overall drivers’ standings with 77 points. Last weekend, Torrente ended in sixth at the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi and those crucial points helped him stay three points clear of teammate Thani Al Qamzi.

“It has been an awesome year for me personally. Perhaps, this is the first timeever that all three drivers targeting the title are from one team. It is a healthy competition and each of us deserve to be where we are,” Torrente told Gulf News.
