The GulfRun Karting Endurance Race ended with great success. All 11 teams did exceptionally well as the competition was fierce and very close. Throughout the 26 hours of the race the number of laps between the top 5 teams was extremely close fighting till the end. We would like to congratulate all the teams for their achievement finishing the longest karting endurance race in the middle east, and we would like to congratulate team Gulf Cables for 1st place, a team of 5 drivers managing to race throughout the 26 hours flawlessly. 2nd place went to team Scuderia, and 3rd place went to team Agsher. Special thanks goes to all the sponsors, marshals, and coordinators who made this event happen and successful, and a big thanks goes to all the team members for their participation.
Jump after the break to check out more pictures from team Agsher.
I personally raced with team Agsher, so here are some pictures I took throughout the 26 hours:

We managed to get the 2nd best lap time in qualifying, so we start 2nd in the grid.
