A ceremony at the Grand Hyatt in Muscat celebrated Omani driver Alfaisal bin Khalid Al Zubair’s second consecutive title in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East.
The season ended in Bahrain alongside the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix. Winning two titles in a row is a first in the history of the series, now in its tenth edition.
The event, held under the patronage of Fahr bin Fatik bin Fahr Al Said, also revealed Al Zubair’s next step: racing in the Porsche Supercup in 2019 in several European countries and Mexico, before a planned move to the FIA World Endurance Championship. His new car and a supporting brand were also unveiled.
Al Zubair won the title after strong performances at the Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Dubai circuits, finishing on the podium in most races.
