Al Saud to participate in Round 6

Manama : Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Al Saud will be participating in Round 6 of the championship for the first time, after not being able to drive the whole of Season 8 due to prior commitments. 

Al Saud will be hoping that the added atmosphere and excitement that the Formula 1 brings will inspire him further to close the gap on Bronze Category leader Mark Radcliffe, who currently leads by just 10 points. 

Speaking ahead of Round 6, Mohammed Al Saud said: “I’m really looking forward to the final round in the championship and experiencing what it’s like to drive as part of an Formula 1 weekend. I must remember that there to do a job, and not let the occasion distract from what I am trying to achieve.

“It would be an amazing achievement for me to win the Bronze Category in my second season, and be able to raise my country’s flag in front of the Formula 1 crowd.”   

23 points separates the top 3 drivers in the overall championship standings, with a minimal 16 points separating the top 3 drivers in the Silver Category and 24 points between the top 3 in the Bronze Category, fans of the series are in for an exciting season finale.

With expectations high and time running out, final moves need to be made across the full grid of 17 drivers representing 10 nationalities. From Round 1 in Bahrain, Rounds 2 and 3 in Dubai and Round 4 in Abu Dhabi, the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East Season returned to Bahrain International Circuit for Round 5 and now ends here with Round 6.
