Pupils from ACS Doha International School were among the first to get a sneak-peek into the upcoming action of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East when team Saudi Falcons driver, Faisal Binladen, visited the school. Almost 100 students heard from last season’s Silver Michelin category winner on his racing experiences and were treated to a look under the bonnet of the stunning new Porsche GT3 Cup, the car which features in the one-make series. Five lucky students also won the chance to take a pit tour with the Saudi Falcons team at Losail International Circuit over the race weekend.
Speaking ahead of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East, which takes place 17-18 January at Losail International Circuit, Faisal Binladen said: “It has been great to be able to get out into the local community today and share the excitement of my sport with young people in Doha. A key element in the creation of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East was to identify, and provide opportunities for, young racing talent from the region and I hope that today we have shown what our sport has to offer. I look forward to seeing many of those faces at Losail International Circuit this weekend!”
The Doha rounds of the Porsche Cup Challenge Middle East are supported by QD-SBG. The action gets underway from 4pm on January 17 with practice and qualifying taking place before the 12-lap race at 8.45pm.The Peninsula
