This winter, Yas Marina tracks will sizzle with the heat of the TRD86 cup and the Audi R8 LMS Cup doing one of the rounds here but the sixth installment of Porsche GT3 Cup racing series is the one to watch out for its scores to settle from last year. If you remember, it was just one point that decided the winner last time.
Reigning Champion Zaid Ashkanani has confirmed his Season 6 return to defend Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East Title. With the Al Nabooda team announcing their lineup of former champion Clemens Schmid and reputable Omani driver Ahmed Al Harthy, the Dubai-based team will be key the combatants of the Kuwaiti Ashkanani (the pictures show him racing in his GT3).
