Abdullah al-Khelaifi topped the Open Class 1 category in the fourth round of the Qatar National Sprint Championship, organised by the Qatar Motor & Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) in Lusail on Saturday.
Al-Khelaifi just had a one run out of three allowed for the competitors, but that was enough for the Qatar Touring Cars Championship champion to seal the victory in his Westfield Sport.
His winning time was 58.610 seconds, well ahead of Abdul Aziz al-Jabri, who clocked 1:00.517 also in Westfield Sport to take the runner-up spot. Ayyad al-Okar was third in his Subaru BRZ.
In the Open Class 2 category, Mohamed al-Basti came out victorious in Subaru STI WRX in a time of 58.693 seconds. Mohamed al-Khayarin (Mitsubishi Evo 10, 59.649) was second, followed by Ali Emadadhi (Nissan 370Z, 1:01.249) in third.
The Open Class 3 category was won by Abdulla al-Abassi, who edged out al-Khelaifi this time. Al-Abassi clocked 58.302 seconds in a Lotus Exige, with al-Khelaifi following him in a Supra in a time of 1:00.507 seconds. Yousef al-Jabri (Supra, 1:01.425) was third
