The 25 Hours



On the 2nd and the 3rd of Nov 2006 Kuwait hosted for the third year the red bull 25hours go kart race.
This year twenty two teams participated mostly from Kuwait and three from Bahrain
With some new teams racing for the first time like Al Sayer A Team, Al Tijaria Quality, Ajwan Gulf real estate, Al Jlaiaa, KGL and Al Shaya Team.
The event started late about 19:00 two hours behind schedule because the organizer had a hard time getting the karts out of the customs.
But no one can stop the race.
The start flag got the karts moving and the track was on fire non stop full
Of action and speed. As the hours start running out from the drivers the heat started rising up between Wataniya 2, Unstoppabulls, Kuwait Airways 1 and Batelco 1, Betelco 2, Watanya 1, Al Shaya, and Extreme Team in the Pro group.
And the rest of the teams wear competing on the local grope. And all did well
But I have to say that karting angels this year did not come last like the last two years
As they worked hard and in a professional way making it harder for some teams to keep with the full female team and there wings.
Kuwait Airways one was battling on the first and the second place over all with watanya 2 and that was very impressing for Kuwaiti team against professional drivers from other countries with a lot of experience.
Kuwait Airways 1 had to go out for twenty five minutes in the pet stop to fix the carburetor so they lost the lading position and had to start from the last all the way to forth position over all by six laps between them and Batelco 1 and still they had more then 90 mints to go.
The red flag stopped the race two hours before the finish flag as most of the kart fuel tanks were full with water. The second attempt to stop the race by the unknown.
So the final results were as fallow:
The pro group
1- Wataniya 2
2- Unstoppabulls
3- Batelco 1

The local teams group
1- Kuwait Airways 1
2- Al Shaya
3- Extreme team

Thanks for all the teams and red bull for hosting the event .
