Intended to have taken place last weekend, the event was postponed due to bad weather and is now being held one week prior to the F1 UIM PowerBoat World Championship. Duarte Benavente is the only Portuguese pilot in the Championship, representing the F1 Atlantic Team, and will be one of the 20 pilots competing in the first race of 2010, in what promises to be an action packed event, as always.
