\nMotor Mania GT, a new Saudi-promoted GT racing series, will join the Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship as an official support category beginning in October. Launched by Altawkilat Motorsport and run under the sporting regulations of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, organizers said the series was designed to expand circuit-racing opportunities in Saudi Arabia and Qatar while providing drivers with an accessible route into GT competition.
\nThe inaugural season will feature a 12-car, multiclass grid, with entries expected from manufacturers such as Ferrari, McLaren, Radical and Ginetta. Each race weekend will feature two 35-minute races with rolling starts, each preceded by a 25-minute practice session and a 25-minute qualifying session. Drivers will be required to hold a valid Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation racing license.
\nMohammed Abduljawad, Altawkilat\u2019s chairman and CEO, said the series represented another step in the company\u2019s efforts to grow motor sports across the region. \u201cMotor Mania GT is an important step in our ambition to build a stronger and more accessible motor sport platform in the region,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cGT racing has a unique appeal because it combines performance, competition and entertainment, and this format gives more drivers the chance to experience proper wheel-to-wheel racing in a professional environment.
\n\u201cFor us, Motor Mania GT is about opening new doors for the region. By bringing GT racing alongside the Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, we are giving drivers, teams and fans another way to engage with motor sport while supporting Altawkilat Motorsport\u2019s ambition to become a regional GT promoter.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
