Omani drivers Alfaisal Al Zubair and young Khalid Al Wahaibi head into rounds three and four of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East at Dubai Autodrome on 8 and 9 December with strong momentum.
Al Zubair aims to finish the season in the top three. Using the experience of his Porsche Supercup season, he finished third in both opening races in Bahrain, making him one of the main title contenders against experienced Briton Tom Oliphant.
I am very excited for this week as I really enjoy driving at Dubai Autodrome, which requires advanced driving techniques. I got good results last year, but I think I am more ready this time. My goal is to win one or more races to score as many points as possible.

Al Wahaibi, who comes from single-seaters, is learning the region’s circuits and getting used to closed-cockpit cars. Racing in the Bronze class, he finished ninth in Bahrain race one, ahead of several more experienced Silver drivers, and tenth in race two to lead his class with 23 points.
I can’t wait to get back in the car after the good performance I delivered in Bahrain.
