It is all going off when it comes to Middle Eastern Motorsport! To add to the ALMS, FIA GT3, Le Mans Challenge, Nurburgring 24hrs, Le Mans, Spa 24hrs etc etc, we now have some more news relating to a local boy making it good.

Multiple and we mean multiple UAE racing champion, Karim Al Azhari, has been confirmed to race at the world famous Spa 24hr epic happening this weekend.  Along with Fabien Giroix and the rest of Gulf Team First, Karim will take to the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 to take on the infamous race track.

Racing in the Pro-Am Cup, Karim Al-Azhari will join the afformentioned Fabien Giroix along with Andrea and Frederick Barlesi Fatien in their bad ass Lamborghini. For those in the know, that line up is certainly a great crew and one that could happily cause an upset in the class! Don’t forget, this was the car that blitzed into the lead during the 2011 Dubai 24hrs!

We wish Fabien, Karim and the rest of the team all the luck in the world as the embark on this monumental challenge.
