DUBAI, 22nd October, 2024 (WAM) -- The UAE Motorsports Team will participate in the highly anticipated FIA Motorsport Games 2024 from 23rd to 27th October in Valencia, Spain.
This event, known as the "Race of Nations," brings together over 1,000 competitors from more than 85 countries.
This year, the team will compete across six disciplines, demonstrating the growth of grassroots motorsport within the UAE and providing opportunities for young athletes to shine on an international stage.
Eight athletes will compete in the Race of Nations across six disciplines. Saif Alameri will champion the GT Sprint category for the UAE. Alameri, the driver with the highest international exposure in the team, has frequent podium finishes in the GT Middle East Championship, 24H Dubai, 6H Abu Dhabi, and impressive participation in the Imola Porsche Cup in Italy.
Participating athletes include Humaid Alketbi, Ahmad Alhammadi, and Rauda Altenaiji in Karting Endurance, along with rising star Faris Haroun in Karting Mini. The Karting Endurance team features a female-male combination, where the three drivers will complete the six hours of non-stop racing stipulated by the regulations.
Faris Haroun, the youngest team member, won the MENA Karting Cup in his class last December.
Ghanem Almazrouei and Eisa Almarar will compete in esports Formula 4 and GT, respectively, after winning the first-ever EMSO eRacing Summer Tournaments last month. Hazza Alhosani will defend the UAE colours in the Drifting series.
