The F1 Powerboat race returns to Portimão after an absence of five years, with the weather set to assist in drawing the usual big crowds on either side of the Arade River banks.

The drivers will get their first opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the circuit with an untimed practice on Friday at 2pm.

The first official practice session takes place on Saturday morning, with qualifying at 1pm.

The official race starts at 1.30pm on Sunday.
