DUBAI: Emirati racing driver Amna Al-Qubaisi has spoken of how her “love of racing” led to her fulfilling big dreams by attending the inaugural TIME100 Sports Gala in New York last week.
The event on Thursday came just weeks after the 26-year-old became the only Arab to make TIME’s inaugural TIME100 Sports list.
Her inclusion placed her alongside sporting icons including Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Victor Wembanyama, Carlos Alcaraz, Caitlin Clark and Lando Norris, recognizing not only her achievements on the track but also her growing influence beyond competition.
“It all began with a dream and a love for racing. I had no idea where this sport would take me. I just knew this is what I wanted to do,” Al-Qubaisi said.
“Being recognized on the TIME100 list is something I never imagined growing up. It’s a reminder that the biggest dreams begin with one small step.
