Pakistan returns to Dubai Endurance Karting after a decade, in finals.
Shafiq Saeed (captain), Saad Lari (team manager), Shahzad Qureshi, Samad Soomro, Uzair Magsi, and Enaam Ahmed (racers) will represent Pakistan in this Championship of Racing Event.
The tournament will include up to 42 karting teams, including 15 European national champions. The event will also include Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso and former F1 driver Pedro De La Rosa.
Shafiq Saeed, squad captain, commented on the team’s preparations
Competing at this level is difficult. Our crew lacks experience, but not devotion, enthusiasm, or ambition to achieve, compete and go wheel to wheel with world-champion drivers. We see this as a fantastic opportunity to study and acquire experience before returning to the nation and increasing the standard at the local level. After all, how often do you get to practice and race against F1 drivers, including a two-time FI World Champion? We hope, inshallah, to make the country and the people proud of our efforts.
The participation of the Pakistani squad in this event is a significant step. Speedsters are expected to put their best foot forward, according to auto fans.
