Hamda Al Qubaisi has set her sights on glory in the third and final round of the prestigious CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy in Sweden next weekend.

The Emirati youngster will be in action at the 1.231km Asum Ring in Kristianstad with the Abu Dhabi schoolgirl, hoping to raise the UAE flag exactly a week after the country marks ‘Emirati Women’s Day’ which will be celebrated today.

For Hamda, this will be her third and final round at the prestigious CIK-FIA invitational competition, following her participation in the first and second rounds in France and Portugal in June.

In both rounds Hamda has raced remarkably reaching the final heat, but unfortunate incidents forced her to either retire or be pushed down the order.

Nevertheless, the Daman Speed Academy star is determined to give her best at the final round in Sweden.

Al Qubaisi said: “It would be great to come back with the desired result and dedicate it to the ‘Emirati Women’s Day’ which will be marked a week earlier on August 28.

“The competition has been tough so far and incident filled races have denied me a shot to be among the tough half; but then that is the nature of racing and I have no complaints.

“In Sweden the key will be stay out of trouble and hopefully I come away with the desired result. Having said that, I am really happy to have competed in this championship and gained so much experience. I am sure this experience will help me push for the top spots in the UAE Rotax Max Challenge now that I am moving up to the Junior Max class.”
