In the first week of opening up the 2021/22 Gulf Radical Cup (GRC) entries, registrations have been taken from 9 drivers, 4 of whom are new to the GRC.

However, first to sign up within minutes of entries opening was Lebanese racer Johnny Khazzoum. Racing his number 5 Radical SR3, this will be his third season, getting onto the podium on two occasions last year, this season will hopefully see him standing on the top step!

Khazzoum commented: “Motorsport has always been a part of my life, but in recent years racing in the Gulf Radical Cup has become much more exciting and challenging. Racing is a challenge enough by itself, but now in these Covid-19 times we all as racers have to face it together.

But thanks to GulfSport Racing and their Gulf Radical Cup who were able to organise a championship where all racers were able to compete and enjoy in a safe environment.

I am ready and thrilled for the upcoming 2021-2022 championship and can’t wait to meet the racing champs back on track and have a season full of action!”.

Another returning racer is Marcus Bamberg in his number 25 Radical SR3 RSX. This will be Marcus’s second season and is hoping to finally get his toe on the podium.

“Moving from track days to racing a Radical was a great step, I really enjoy the racing and the atmosphere between all the drivers and teams, I hope to push hard this year and get my hands on a tin cup!”

French Audio and Visual entrepreneur Julien Monie has been busy testing over the past 10 months in his 2006 SR3, now with a SR3 RSX on the way in time for the new season, he is excited to make his first race start at the Dubai Autodrome in November.

He added - “After a year of getting to know Radical racing and the car I am so happy to take the next step and compete in the 2021/22 season!“

Also quoting his hero Enzo Ferrari, saying - “What’s behind you doesn’t matter”

Arriving just a few weeks ago, but having already completed over 400km of testing is Paul Huskinson in his beautiful number 20 SR3 XX. Paul will also be taking his first ever race start in November, but has been diligently testing and training in a rental SR3 while his new car was in build and plans to continue his testing program in the lead up to the start of the season.

Returning is the Gulf Radical Cups most experienced racer, Ian Roberts. Also with a new SR3 XX in build, this is surely Roberts best chance to take the 2021/22 Gulf Radical Cup title!

Abdulnasir Alhameedi

No.76 United Arab Emirates

UAE racer Abdulnasir Al Hameedi showed amazing pace in his rookie year, saying “Last years was such an incredible experience that I want to go through again with greater confidence!”.

First racing more than 10 years ago in the GRC is one of Pakistans quickest racers, Usmaan Mughal, who has signed for a complete season, now sharing with fellow countryman Zaair Moorad. Mughal has had the occasional appearance in the past few seasons, always showing amazing pace, and in pre season testing Moorad had already showed early signs on good pace, despite this being his first season on track.

The pairing commented: "We are immensely proud to represent our country in the Gulf Radical Cup, and look forward to showcasing what we can do over the 21 races".

Finally, the 9th entry taken so far is from another newcomer, also fielding the latest 2021 SR3 XX.
