Five of the UAE’s most talented junior drivers from the Daman Speed Academy (DSA) will race in an invitational event at Al Ain Raceway on 25 September 2015, a warm-up before the UAE Rotax Max Challenge season starts in October.
The drivers recently returned from an intensive summer camp at the Laval circuit, where they raced in one of France’s toughest Rotax Max Challenges.
- Mini Max: Hamda Al Qubaisi, racing in “FIA Women In Motorsport” colours for the first time
- Junior Max: Amna Al Qubaisi
- Senior Max: Ahmed Al Khamisi
- Micro Max: Ali Al Shamsi
- DD2: Saeed Al Ali, on his debut in the class
We had a good season last year and now we are looking forward to building on last year in the coming season. I think the Al Ain Raceway Invitational race will be very competitive but our sights are firmly set on podium finishes.
Robert Cregan, Daman Speed Academy Program Director at ADR
The academy’s aim is to prepare the next generation of Emirati track stars. It was launched by Abu Dhabi Racing and the National Health Insurance Company, Daman, and was a long-held dream of WEC driver Khaled Al Qubaisi.
