Mumtalakat CEO Khalid Al Rumaihi says that Bahrain’s investment in Prodrive goes well beyond motor racing as it hopes to bring about many beneficial initiatives for the Kingdom in technology and various other sectors.
He said this as Mumtalakat and Prodrive showcased the Bahrain Raid Xtreme (BRX) Prodrive Hunter rally car in Bahrain.
“Our partnership with Prodrive presents the opportunity to introduce to the Kingdom of Bahrain further high technology industries, which create employment, enhance local expertise, and raise the profile of Bahrain as a centre of technological excellence in the region,” Al Rumaihi said.
He added: “The drive behind our investment in Prodrive was beyond building a racing car and a team as in this occasion BRX has completely rebuilt Loeb’s Prodrive Hunter from a base at Bahrain International Circuit, which reflects Bahrain infrastructure for high technology sports and industries.
“The same car rebuilt in Bahrain will be used in all international races the BRX team is joining, which is something that makes us proud.”
