New class 2 (up to 2.000 cc N/A cars) champion Umair Khan made it to the final round of the championship in his Lap57 Honda where he faced stern opposition from his team mate Rupesh Channake and a host of Renault Clio campaigners.
Race 1 was a Channake versus Khan battle, with Channake edging to victory, with Khan in his tow and Alexandros Annivas taking third after a huge battle with fellow Renault Clio driver Oliver Grimm who settled for fourth place.
In the second race, the last of the season, Khan rose to the occasion and signed off his successful year with a strong victory, aided by Channake’s retirement on lap 5. Behind Khan was Grimm who this time got the better of Annivas, the pair ending second and third respectively.

Suzuki Swift Cup: Hat trick for Kostantinos Annivas
Occasional racer Kostantinos Annivas (wearing his father Costas Papantonis race suit!) took three out of three wins in the hotly contested Suzuki Swift Cup races. Close racing is part and parcel of this arrive and driver series, but Annivas was unbeatable on the day.
Behind Annivas the battles were fierce with Klaus Kresnik, a mere 1.090 seconds behind the winner, taking second in race one and Panos Karakoulakis coming home in third.
In race two Maurice Faber and Kresnik slugged it out with Faber taking second and Kresnik third after fending off Robert Galotti and Balazs Galotti.
In the final race Karakoulakis bounced back to take second from Kresnik who again had his mirrors full of Balazs Galotti as they crossed the line nose to tail.

Mohammed Al Owais and Costas Papantonis celebrate on the podium after they took a win each in the Total UAE Touring Car races at Yas Marina Circuit
16 December 2012
Round 7 and Round 8 of the Total UAE Touring Car Championship took place at Yas Marina Circuit and Class 1 produced some of the best racing of the day on the island.
There was nothing to separate the trio of SEATs of Mohammed Al Owais (Emirates Racing Team), Costas Papantonis (Gulf Petrochem SEAT) and privateer Nader Zuhour. The trio swapped places throughout the two races, with Papantonis taking an impressive win in the first race and Al Owais taking second after Zuhour made an error which cost him victory.
Credit to Zuhour, showing modesty that is rare among race drivers, he was the first to admit the mistake, “I got the car on the rumble strip, it was damp and very slippery and next thing I was facing the wrong way. I lost five seconds on the leaders and that was that.” He crossed the line third.
Al Owais struck back to win the second race with Zuhour fending off Papantonis, the latter pair finishing second and third respectively.
Al Owais summed up his day, “Really it was a tale of two totally different races. I don’t know if it was the car or maybe me, but in race one the car was all over the place and then in race two it was perfect. But I must say the first race Costas [Papantonis] was really very strong, he drove very well and deserved to win. In the second race I got a good start and the rest is history.”

Alexandros Annivas (Gulf Petrochem Renault) was unbeatable in the Clio Cup – race within a race – with two wins on the day over Nabil Moutran (Duel Racing).

not bad!

Πως μου την δινει που στις συνεντευξεις κοβουν και ραβουν τις προτασεις....
Ειπα οτι ειχα ενα καλο προβαδισμα στην αρχη εκανα ενα λαθος στην στροφη που περναει κατο απο το ξενοδοχειο οπου το εκμεταλευτικε ο 2ος, με περασε 2-3 γυρους μετα στα φρενα της πισω ευθειας, και μετα λογο της πιεσης που το ασκησα στον τελευταιο γυρο εκανε ενα λαθος στα φρενα οπου το εκμεταλευτικα και περασα παλι μπροστα.
Αυτη ειναι η μαγια το να τρεχεις με ιδια αυτοκινητα σε μορφη εννιαιου.

Φυσικα κουβεντα οτι στον δευτερο αγωνα εβαλα το κεφαλι κατω και σε καποια στιγμη ειχα φτιαξει μια διαφορα 10 δευτερολεπτα οπου απο εκει και περα μπορουσα να ελενξω τον ρυθμο μου και να ειμαι πιο χαλαρος.
Μαλλον τους ενοχλει οτι δεν αλλαζω το καπελακι μου με το κιτρινο της DUNLOP και κραταω το δικο μου.

Yas Marina Circuit plays host, on Friday 27 January, to the DAMC organized Round 5 of both the Total UAE Touring Car Championship and the NGK UAE GT Championship. It’s back to business for the UAE’s best race drivers in the first UAE national race meeting of the new year.
The biggest field of the 2011/2012 season is expected to line up on the grid. In Class 1 Nader Zuhour leads the championship standings in his SEAT Leon Supercopa and will be striving to keep the momentum going and sustain his lead at the top of the table.
He will have to work hard for his money on Friday because he has a number of SEAT drivers quite capable of snatching victory. Mohammed Al Owais in the Emirates Racing Team entered car is always a force to reckon with and, with two wins under his belt, the Emirati driver will be looking to add to his tally.
Also with a couple of wins in the bag this season is Ramzi Moutran, driving for Memac Ogilvy Duel Racing, who missed a couple of rounds due to personal commitments and thus will be itching to re-ignite his campaign. Third in the standings and always capable of upsetting the form book is former UAE Touring Car champion Costas Papantonis in the Gulf Petrochem backed SEAT. Also joining the Class 1 battle field as from this round is Abdulla Al Darmaki, also in a SEAT.

In the tightly fought Clio Cup class, Alexandros Annivas (Gulf Petrochem Renault) is on winning streak – which started in Round 6 – with three wins in a row for the Fujairah based driver, who will be targeting two more top of the podium finishes on Friday.
With closest rival Khalid Bin Hadher opting out of this round, Annivas faces a tough challenge from the Moutran brothers Nabil and Sami in the pair of Memac Ogilvy Duel Racing Renault Clios – making it three brothers on the same grid for both races on the island – with Willie Morrison also in contention.

Yas Marina Circuit, on Friday 27 January, hosted the DAMC organized Round 5 of both the Total UAE Touring Car Championship and the NGK UAE GT Championship, with some thrilling racing on the Northern Circuit configuration of the splendid Grand Prix venue.
In Race 1 of the Total UAE Touring Car Championship it was the usual suspects tussling at the front for top honours in Class 1, with Costas Papantonis finding good pace to score the first win of the day in the Gulf Petrochem backed SEAT Leon Supercopa. He managed to edge ahead of his closest rivals Ramzi Moutran (Memac Ogilvy Duel Racing SEAT) and Nader Zuhour in another SEAT.
Zuhour and Moutran battled it out nose to tail until the penultimate lap when, championship points leader, Zuhour spun while chasing Moutran. The latter claiming second place and Zuhour recovering to finish third.
Papantonis said afterwards, “It was an excellent race. I managed to get a good start and with the car going really well and I was able to take the win. I am very happy.”
In the second race Zuhour bounced back in fine style to take the win from Papantonis, with Moutran third. Zuhour said, “It is good to win especially after the first race. For me the second race was pretty good, although I did make a couple of mistakes early on. But I managed to hold out to the finish and win. A good result for me here.”

Οπου φυσικα αυτο που δεν υπο8ηκε ηταν οτι ο Κωστας εχασε την νικη απο τα χερια του οταν στα μισα του αγωνα του κοπηκε η αριστερη βαση του κα8ισματος και με τα 1000 ζορια καταφερε να διατηρησει καποιο ρυθμο ωστε να κρατηθει 2ος αφου λιγο ακομα και θα χτυπαγε φραπε απο το κουνημα στις αριστερες στροφες και κατα την επιταχυνση και το φρεναρισμα.

Moutran’s two second places, in Class 2, also earned him maximum points in the Clio Cup ‘race within a race’, ending Alexandros Annivas winning streak in the Gulf Petrochem sponsored entry. In race one, Annivas was second, ahead of Willie Morrison who scored his first podium in the UAE. In race two the Moutran brothers, Nabil and Sami, were first and second respectively with Annivas third.

Οπως ειπα και στην συντευξη (που φυσικα δεν 8α το δειξουν αφου δεν το γραψανε κιολας
Good practice on how to gain pace through the corners when your straight speed is 30klm less on the straights than the other clios due to missfiring issues......
