19 drivers registered to compete in the first round of the Ramadan Karting Challenge, which on its 4th year; the series became part of the qualifying races to enter the Rotax Max Grand Finals.
In the official practice, Tarek Sukhtian was the only driver who could break the 38 seconds and scored 37:980. However, the following 5 drivers were all within less than a second behind.
Sukhtian also got the pole position in the qualifying session followed by Nabih Muammar and Omar Farrah who was running on a Rotax engine for the first time.
Before the start of the race, the organizers decided to cancel the pre-final race and go directly to a 20 laps final race due to electricity problems.
The start of the race went very smooth. Sukhtian and Muammar maintained their lead and Saif Abdelhadi jumped to 3rd position. Terry Farah proved once again that she’s one of the fastest on the track and placed herself in 4th position.
Four laps before the end of the race, Nabih Muammar managed to take the lead from Sukhtian and marked his first win!
Three new drivers joined karting races in this event. Ahmad Abdelkhalek finished in 8th place, Yousef Abdelhadi in 10th and Abdullah Said who retired.
