Saeed al-Sulaiti took the Superpole for the penultimate round of the Qatar Superstock 600 yesterday. At the Losail International Circuit, the defending QSTK 600 champion took his first Superpole of the season with a lap time of 2:03.750, in front of Abdulla al-Qubaisi and Mashel al-Naimi respectively.
Abdulla and Mishal crashed when Abdulla was trying to overtake Mishal at the end of the straight line but he lost the front tyre and both crashed. Al-Sulaiti though wasn’t complaining and was very happy with his performance.
“I am very happy. This weekend, I focused to try to make fast laps with used tyres in the two free practices as I know that in the last rounds we struggled with the tyres in the last lap. So in the Superpole I felt good with the bike and finally I did my best personal lap so I am really glad and hopes everything goes well for tomorrow,”said al-Sulaiti.
In the QSTK Trophy, the fastest rider was Jeremy Parola, followed by Rayad al-Emadi and Alexander Qabazard. Ghanim al-Maadeed set the fastest lap in the QTCC 2K. The Lotus Elise driver only needed two laps to secure the pole position with a lap time of 2:22.560.
“I am very happy with the performance of the car. It is working perfectly without any problem. I hope that tomorrow we don’t have any issue and we can win both races,” said al-Maadheed. Mohamed al-Aseeri was second fastest, while Nasser al-Ahbabi was third.
Hamad al-Sulaiti took his first pole position of the season in the QTCC M240. Al-Sulaiti with a lap time of 2:14.330 will start on the front grid of the Qatar Touring Car Championship. “I am pleased with my first pole position of the season. The car is very good with no problems. I hope tomorrow I can take a double win,” said al-Sulaiti.
Abdulla al-Khelaifi finished second in the QTCC M240 class, with a lap time of 2:15.108 followed by Saadon al-Kuwari, who did a lap time of 2:14.126.
