Ahead of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East (CCME) action kicking into gear at Losail International Circuit at the weekend, local students were given the opportunity to get behind the scenes at a garage tour, thanks to the supporter of the Doha rounds, QD-SBG.
The pupils were shown around the team garages, meeting drivers and mechanics who were on hand to showcase the cars and explain more about the Porsche GT3 CCME race series. The group got closer to the action than ever with the chance to get the drivers’ view and sit in the racing seat of the QD-SBG sponsored Porsche GT3 Cup car. Following the tour, the youngsters stayed on at the circuit to watch qualifying get underway.
January 17-18 weekend action saw victories for Clemens Schmid in Race 1 and Jeffrey Schmidt in Race 2, Round 2 gets underway on January 30-February 1. The race is free and open to all.
