- DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s Bandar Alesayi scored his first victory in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East today while second place in Round 10 at Dubai Autodrome saw Sheikh Salman bin Rashid Al Khalifa again extend his lead in the series.
With two races remaining on Saturday in the 12-round championship, Sheikh Salman holds a 14-point lead over Saudi Arabia’s defending champion, Prince Abdulaziz Al Faisal, who recovered to finish third after spinning off, as he had done earlier in Round 9.
Abu Dhabi’s Khaled Al Qubaisi finished fourth in a dramatic 14-laps of Porsche GT3 Cup racing which also saw Fahad Algosaibi spin off the track and out of contention on the first lap.
Al Qubaisi’s teammate, Musaed Al Murar, lost third place and went out of the race when he made an excursion from the circuit at the end of the 11th lap.
