UIM F1H2O World Championship 2026: Grand Prix of Kyrgyzstan Highlights

Thu, Aug 27 EDT4:00 PM EDT

History made in Central Asia! The UIM F1H2O World Championship ventured into unchartered waters for the historic Grand Prix of Kyrgyzstan, setting a record for the highest-altitude circuit in powerboat racing history on the pristine waters of Lake Issyk-Kul.

Framed by the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains, the high-altitude, 9-pin technical circuit tested drivers and engines to their absolute limits. Relive every high-stakes qualifying lap, sprint race clash, and Sunday's thrilling Grand Prix main event!

revious Round Recap: Sardinia Chaos
Pole Position: Victory Team's Shaun Torrente secured a record-extending 13th career pole position.

Race Day Drama: Violent power rolls knocked both championship favorites-Shaun Torrente and Rusty Wyatt-out of contention.

Victory: Sharjah Team's Stefan Arand kept his cool through brutal conditions to claim his second consecutive Grand Prix win, leading a sensational 1-2 finish alongside teammate Grant Trask.

Kyrgyzstan Qualifying & High-Altitude Setup
Altitude Edge: Engines suffered significant power loss in the thin mountain air, forcing teams to radically adjust setups for the 8-turn, 2-right-hander layout.

Andersson's Redemption: After a nightmare opening round in Sardinia, three-time World Champion Jonas Andersson (Team Abu Dhabi) dominated Q2 and Q3 to snatch a brilliant pole position with a 48.778-second lap-0.7s clear of Shaun Torrente.

Mechanical Heartbreak: Sharjah Team's Rusty Wyatt blew an engine during qualifying, forcing him to start at the back of the grid for both the sprint and main event.

Saturday Sprint Races

Sprint 1 Highlights
Abu Dhabi 1-2: Jonas Andersson grabbed the hole shot off the dock and led wire-to-wire ahead of teammate Erik Stark, securing a massive 19 points for Team Abu Dhabi.

Wyatt's Charge: Starting from 9th, Canadian driver Rusty Wyatt sliced through the field to finish 4th after a fierce, wheel-to-wheel duel with Sami Seliö.

Sprint 2 Highlights
Victory Team Domination: Shaun Torrente and Alec Weckström exploded off the pontoon to lock out a dominant 1-2 finish for Victory Team.

Post-Race Penalty: Rashed Al-Qemzi crossed the line 3rd but was demoted to 8th for a lane infringement at the start, handing 3rd place and 8 critical championship points to Stefan Arand.

Sunday Grand Prix Main Event: Torrente Triumphs
The Winning Launch: At the green light, Shaun Torrente pulled off a masterclass start from lane two, sweeping around pole-sitter Jonas Andersson at turn one to seize control of the race.

Yellow Flag Chaos: Ben Jelf suffered a terrifying barrel roll on lap 6, bringing out the safety launch. On the restart, Erik Stark aggressively muscled past Alec Weckström to take 2nd place.

Historical Four-Stroke Podium: Norway's Marit Strømøy put on a driving clinic, charging through the pack from 14th to finish on the podium following a post-race lane penalty for Weckström. The result marked a historic first-ever F1H2O podium finish for a four-stroke engine package!

Championship Turnaround: Torrente cruised across the finish line unimpeded to seal victory, putting his quest for a fifth World Championship back on track and taking over the top spot in the Drivers' Standings.
