Hot battle for the 2nd place was between Saif Abdelhadi, Faisal Bustami and Faisal Abdelhadi. The three drivers were so close with less than a second between them all.  Faisal Bustami’s kart flipped and he had to leave the competition on the 9th lap.

Marabeh, sponsored by Al Nahda Press, was able to overtake many drivers and finished in 5th place behind the promising driver Hashem Tabbaa who showed big improvement during the Ramadan Challenge.  Ahmad Sukhtian’s car stopped at the beginning of the race, but he also managed to restart, but finished last.
