Championship leader Rami Azzam set the tempo for the night with a qualifying time of 1:12.491 but he was unable to hold the advantage in race one as Atef Al Barwani took the lead and secured the win on the Kartdrome’s outdoor circuit.
Labrooy prevailed in a scrappy race two when the top six karts were bumper to bumper throughout the contest. Atef stormed back and claimed race three but when the night’s points were calculated it was Romaldo’s consistently high placing that saw him win.
It was not so close in the Masters Category where Mohammed Ismail Ali has emerged as an overwhelming force to his class competitors. He secured three race wins and has now racked up an astonishing three trophies in a row.
Next door at the indoor circuit of Dubai Kartdrome,, Oscar McElroy piloted a steady course through heavy traffic to take round three in the Junior Cup.
It was not an easy journey for McElroy, his best result in his two races being a third, and on the final race grid he lined up in eighth place. Undaunted, he calmly steered his way up the grid, his patience and smooth driving paying off as he capitalised on the mistakes of the race leaders and emerged from the pack with a crafty win.
The Junior Karting podium.
“That’s three rounds, three different winners for both the Juniors and Seniors. Incredible results and now everything is up for grabs in round four,” said race director David Bright.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three drivers in each category at the end of four rounds, with the crowning prize for both senior and junior champions a fully funded Rotax or Iame race weekend.
The fourth and final round of the 2016 Ramadan Challenge will flag into action on Sunday, 3 July 2016.
