Motor Mania GT to debut as support series for Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship

JEDDAH: Motor 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.

The 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.

Mohammed Abduljawad, Altawkilat’s chairman and CEO, said the series represented another step in the company’s efforts to grow motor sports across the region.
