Al-Sulaiti continues his winning run
Saeed al-Sulaiti won his third race out of four rounds at the Qatar Online Racing Championship (QORC) on Saturday. The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) rider was unstoppable once again while his teammate Abdullah al-Qubaisi finished second to make it 1-2 for the Qatari team.
Leopard Racing’s Danny Kent – who had won the second round – had led for most of the race but suffered a crash and had to settle for third place.
Al-Sulaiti and al-Qubaisi too were error-prone in the 17-lap race set at Spain’s Circuit de Jerez, but the Qatari duo showed some impressive skills in the MotoGP 20 PS4 game. AlSulaiti took the chequered flag in 28:01.274 seconds, with alQubaisi +6.541 seconds behind.
Leopard Racing’s Marco Ramirez came fourth while QMMF’s Jassim al-Thani finished fifth. Leopard’s Dennis Foggia lost his connection midway through race and hence was given sixth and last position,
After four out of six rounds, Team QMMF has 413 points to Leopard Racing’s 377 for a 36-point lead. The fifth and penultimate round will be held at simulated track of Phillip Island in Australia, while the last round is set at Qatar’s Losail International Circuit. The series winner will be decided on the collective tally of points the two teams muster over the course of the week.
