Balloch’s Oban Duncan set a new speed record in her F4 powerboat - and then insisted she could’ve gone even faster.
The talented 16-year-old hit 74.73mph at Coniston Records Week in the Lake District, despite poor weather only allowing her four attempts.
But Oban’s top speed was good enough to claim the record, and saw her also collect the prize for the fastest female competitor of the week.

“I definitely think we can hit 78mph next year though. I actually think we might be able to go quicker than that too, but for the moment I’ll stick with 78.”
Oban admitted the feeling of flying across water at those speeds was a big change from the circuit racing she is used to.
She continued: “It feels completely different to when you’re racing. The whole boat is out of the water, so you don’t feel much.
“It’s like you’re floating on top of the water for just over a kilometre to hit the speed.
“I find it really
