QMMF Team achieve fourth consecutive victory in Endurance Races

DOHA: The Qatari team achieved its fourth consecutive victory in endurance races this year, specifically at the Barcelona circuit in Spain from September 14 to 15.

The Qatari team, consisting of Abdullah Al-Khelaifi , Ghanem Al Ali, Ibrahim Al Abdulghani, and German driver Julian Hanses, traveled to the Barcelona circuit last weekend to participate in the 24-H endurance race. This came right after their win in the 12H race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit just a week earlier, which gave the team strong momentum and morale to aim for another good result in Barcelona.

With the presence of the Federation President, Mr. Abdulrahman bin Adbullatif Al Mannai, and the Federation’s Executive Director, Mr. Amro Al Hamad, who came specifically to support the Qatari drivers, the team proved to be a strong contender during the qualifying sessions by securing the third position in the 992 AM category on the starting grid.

As the race began on Saturday, the Qatari team quickly moved into second place and then into first place in their category. Through the night, the team continued to shine, demonstrating the experience of their four drivers who alternated driving and gave their all in such a grueling race. Despite facing some mechanical issues during the night, they managed to maintain first place by dawn, thanks also to the efforts of all the members of the “HRT” team, including mechanics, engineers, and administrators. Their strategic pit stops and well-executed plan allowed them to complete the race and secure first place in the 992 AM category at the finish line.

This achievement marks a new milestone for Qatar and Qatari motorsport, as the team clinches their fourth consecutive win this year after previous victories in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Spa-Francorchamps.
