Saeed Al Sulaiti on Sunday night bagged his third successive win as Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation riders (QMMF) continued to lead the points table after round five of the Qatar Online Racing Championship (QORC).
Al Sulaiti, who won the first round in the battle against Leopard Racing riders last Tuesday, on Sunday produced another session of slick riding in the digital battle.
With his win on Sunday and only one round to go, Al Sulaiti has strengthened his grip on the overall standings. His team-mate Saoud Al Thani finished second at Australia’s virtual Philip Island circuit to make it yet another 1-2 finish for QMMF.
The QMMF team is now almost certain to the win title after round 6. With just one race to go, QMMF has 518 points to Leopard Racing’s 473 for a 45-point lead.
On Sunday, Leopard’s Danny Kent once again posed the toughest challenge for Al Sulaiti, but the British rider suffered multiple clashes in the 18-lap simulated Philip Island circuit.
Kent, who had won the second round, was third going into the final lap but crashed once again and was relegated to seventh position. Al Sulaiti, meanwhile, was assured of the win in the MotoGP 20 PS4 game as the Qatari ace finished the race in 26:58.347.
Saoud Al Thani was 14.752 seconds behind the winner, while Leopard’s Denis Foggia came third. Leopard’s Marco Ramirez and Lorenzo Dalla Porta were fourth and fifth respectively, while QMMF’s Jassim Al Thani finished sixth. The sixth and final round will be held at Qatar’s simulated Losail International Circuit.
