After claiming pole position by setting the fastest time in the morning qualifying session, Prince Anbdulaziz led from start to finish and eventually won by almost 10 seconds from fellow Saudi Bandar Alesayi.

Making his debut in the Porsche GT3 Cup series this season, Oman’s Ahmad Al Harthy grabbed the other podium position after Belgian driver Stephane Lemeret collected a time penalty for an infringement at the start, dropping him from second to fourth place.

Another Saudi driver, Saeed Al Mouri, and Austrian Andreas Mayerl, completed the top six. Just as he did in the first round, Qatar’s Saadon Al Kuwari won the Mobil 1 Trophy for drivers over the age of 45 after finishing eighth overall.

The Porsche GT3 Cup series now moves on to the UAE capital next weekend for rounds 3 and 4 which are part of the official race support program for the 2011 Formula 1TM Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit.
