Saud al-Marri, runner-up in the first and second rounds, emerged as the winner of the third and penultimate round of Qatar Freestyle Championship.
Rashed al-Banna secured his first podium finish of the season by taking second place, while Abdullah al-Qahtani, winner of the previous two rounds, settled for third place in this round. Ahmed al-Musned, who had finished third in the previous two rounds, missed out on the podium this time after finishing fourth, while fifth place went to competitor Ahmed al-Banna.
The third and penultimate round of championship, held under the patronage of chairman of Qatar Racing Club (QRC) His Excellency Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani, witnessed intense competition amid a large crowd that filled the grandstands.
Registration and technical inspection were conducted last Thursday to ensure the cars’ readiness to compete in accordance with a number of criteria and conditions adopted by the championship’s organizing committee, which all competitors are required to meet. These included vehicle-related requirements such as equipping the car with a roll cage, securely fixing the battery, and having an effective safety belt, among other points, as well as competitor-related requirements centered on safety elements such as racing attire, helmet, and the like.
According to the competition format, each competitor is given a single opportunity to enter the track and perform exhibition maneuvers, including drifting, reverse driving, the knot maneuver, and the “rios” maneuver, within a total time not exceeding four minutes. There is also a dedicated score for the overall style of the competitor’s performance.
The championship will now enter a relatively long break before returning for its final round at the end of next April.
