The evening was a resounding success, boasting delectable cuisine, a lively ambiance, and impeccable service
Amna made a strong start to the race for Abu Dhabi Racing. In the early laps she was engaged in wheel-to-wheel battle with Xcel Motorsport's Nicola Marinangeli. Third-placed Alex Connor breathing down the neck of Marinangeli helped Amna pull forward. And there was no let up as Amna dominated the 25-minute race throughout the end.
Meanwhile, her sister Hamda, who started on fourth spot, slipped a place by the end. She was in midst of an intriguing fight for the third spot with Connor and Tijmen van der Helm. The 17-year-old kept hunting for an opportunity to pass Connor and Helm, both of whom always closed the gap. But Hamda lost her focus and was later passed by Jordan's debutant Manan Hajjawi, who finished fourth. Helm suffered a suspension failure and Connor finished third behind Marinangeli.
Khaled, father of Al Qubaisi sisters and the UAE's first motorsport star, was jubilant.
"I'm extremely proud of my daughters. They made the whole UAE proud. And that's all what we wanted - to raise the UAE flag up high in this extremely important event held in our beloved country. This is crowning of all the efforts that went into getting them to this point. Thanks to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for supporting motorsports and young talent."
