Balloch powerboat racer Oban Duncan has jetted off to Saudi Arabia, as she prepares for the first season of a brand new, all electric, racing series.
Oban has been chosen as one of a select group of drivers who will make up the grid for the first ever E1 Series - joining former Chelsea and Ivory Coast star Didier Drogba’s squad.
The pioneering championship, which will see races across the world including Hong Kong, Monaco and Venice, aims to usher in a new era of cleaner powerboat competition - and has the backing of a host of superstars running teams, including F1 driver Sergio Perez, NFL hero Tom Brady and tennis superstar Rafa Nadal.
And Oban, a racer in the British F4 powerboat series, admits she is all set for a new challenge - starting in the Middle East next month.
