Oban and Team Drogba teammate Yousef Al-Abdulrazzaq set a blistering pace in qualifying to take pole position in Puerto Banús, Marbella, only for a misfire in the semi-final see them fail to make the final.
Balloch ’s Oban Duncan took her first E1 Series pole position - but admits that her weekend was a case of what might’ve been.
Oban told the Lennox: “It was a good weekend. We started off really well by getting pole position. But then nothing went right in the semi-finals. We just didn’t have very much luck. She continued: “As a team we’re used to rough conditions, pole position was great and earned us an extra championship point which could be important by the end of the season.
“We’ve learned loads. We know we were quick and we were happy with fifth; it keeps us fifth overall in the championship. We’ve shown that we are consistently in the middle of the pack, it’s annoying because we’re not at the top. But we’d rather have that consistency than be all over the place.
