VIVA’s Raed Raffii and Tarek Elgammal shared the honours with a win apiece in round three of the 2011/2012 WGA Supercars Middle East Championship. They were among six different drivers to stand atop the podium on a hugely exciting day at ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, as three of the region’s very best racing championships put on a brilliant show.
Stephen Kellogg and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa followed suit with a win each in round five of the BIC 2,000cc Challenge; while Joe Ghanem and Fahad Al Gosaibi did the same for round two of the Maserati Trofeo JBF RAK Middle East Series.
On the sidelines of yesterday’s events, Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, Chief Executive at Bahrain International Circuit, presented a special token of appreciation to Maserati officials. The all-new factory-backed championship opened its historic debut season with two rounds in Sakhir.
Event organisers also thanked tyre giants Pirelli, in particular Pirelli Commercial Director Ra’ad Haddad, for their role as suppliers of both the WGA Supercars and Maserati series.
