YOUNG SAUDI ABDULLAH AL-DOSSARI GAINS VALUABLE
EXPERIENCE IN IAME KARTING SERIES AT YAS MARINA
YAS MARINA (ABU DHABI): Young Saudi Arabian karting star Abdullah Al-Dossari finished 11th in the Junior category at a hard-fought fifth round of the IAME Series X30 Challenge UAE at Abu Dhabi’s world renowned Yas Marina circuit on Friday afternoon.
The 13-year-old son of Issa Al-Dossari is taking part in select karting races in the Middle East under his father’s ED Racing Team banner. He came up against a strong field of experienced young racers in Abu Dhabi, many of whom knew the race course very well.
Abdullah Al-Dossari said: “Unfortunately, we were not lucky today. I finished the race in 11th place. It was a quick round with experienced competitors, who have been taking part in the championship since the beginning of the season. They have been well trained on it and have practiced for a week. I only carried out two practice sessions.
“The experience factor played a big role, the other drivers knowing the circuit very well and I did not have the experience. I hope to make up for this disappointment on future rounds.”
Lachlan Robinson leads the Junior Championship after five rounds. The final race in the IAME X30 calendar takes place at the RAK Circuit in Ras Al-Khaimah on April 20.
