HUNGARORING, HUNGARY – After missing round two at Spa, Oman’s Al-Faisal Al-Zubair and German team-mate Fabian Schiller return to 2023 International GT Open action at the Hungaroring this weekend.
The Al-Manar Racing by Getspeed Mercedes-AMG GT3 pair led the championship by two points after a win and a second in Portugal. Having skipped the Belgian round, they arrive fourth behind Britain’s Charlie Fagg and Samuel de Haan, Argentina’s Marcos Siebert and Mexican team-mate Diego Menchaca, and Eastalent Racing’s Simon Reicher and Christopher Haase.
I am really looking forward to this weekend’s round of the International GT Open near Budapest. I believe that Fabian and I, along with the Getspeed car, have a great package and will be fighting for the win in both races, hopefully.

The first round of GT Open was great for us. We did miss the second round, as we are not doing the full championship. Budapest is a track I have been on before and so has Fabi and we feel quite confident on that track with the Mercedes. Hopefully, it will be a good round.
