Berkay Makes Quick Start to Middle East Adventure

National driver Berkay Besler took to the Dubai circuit on 17-18 November for the opening round of the GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East.

Competing in three qualifying sessions and three races over the weekend, the young Turkish representative finished the second race on the podium to make a successful start to the championship.

Berkay summed up the weekend: "I was eighth in the first qualifying session, started the first race from eighth and finished fifth. In the second qualifying session I set the sixth-fastest time and finished the race in third to take a podium. In the final qualifying session I set the third-fastest time and was running third until the last three laps of the race. But then I went off the road and finished the race in seventh."

The second round of the GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East will be held at the Bahrain circuit on 7-8 December.
