Al Manar Racing Dragon will conclude its GT World Open participation at Italy’s Monza circuit, which will host one of the season’s rounds from September 25 to 27.
“This round was positive, and we should be proud of what we achieved after the Misano round when we struggled a bit,” Faisal said. “To start from second place and achieve the same result in the race was fantastic. The car was competitive, and there are many positives that we benefited from and lessons that we learned heading into the Monza round where the races will be longer.”
