The Gulf Radical Cup is scheduled to re-start after the summer in the UAE.
With the 2019/20 season coming to an end right before the COVID-19 lockdown everyone looks forward in anticipation for the new season!
Organiser of the series, GulfSport Racing have in place a provisional calendar and have started taking early entries.
GulfSport’s Martin Hope said:
“We are very pleased that we are able to schedule our 2020/21 calendar, we expect there to maybe be some tweaks but with the Gulf Radical Cup is the only series in the region running 7 events, we are looking forward to a busy winter of racing, all the drivers are keen to get back out there after this long break.”
Already signed up, and taking advantage of the early entry offer (closed end of June), is new comer Marcus Bamberg. Having bought his Radical SR3 RSX last season he very diligently spent the winter testing making sure he was up to speed, by the time he made his debut in the 2020/21 season he was right on the pace.
Marcus said:
“I have been doing trackdays in the UAE for a few years in my Lotus. However I was constantly being overtaken on track by very quick Radicals. So naturally as a driver you are always looking to go faster. It was actually significantly cheaper to get my hands on an SR3 than start to look at big Supercars, even then I think the Radicals would still come pass me. But more than the speed is the racing! The Gulf Radical Cup community is very friendly, but also great competitors out on track! Im looking forward to my first full season!”
Another new comer from the previous season is Johnny Khazzoum, he also came from many trackdays in his Radical, but also put in some great performances last season.
2020/21 Vice Champion and going for the crown this season is D5 Racing’s Jeff Curtis. Having finished 3rd over all in the season before Jeff is on track for his best season yet.
With some new drivers testing in the off season we hope to see one new faces.
Entires remain open and GulfSport are working closely with drivers to make sure they can cater for local and foreign drivers.
Series regulations are also with the UAE Federation and are hoped to be published soon.
