Qatari rider Hamad al-Sahouti finishes third at Japan’s Asia Talent Cup

Hamad Al Sahouti finished third at the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, clinching his second top three of the racing season.

Competing at the Motul Grand Prix of Japan, Qatar’s Hamad Al Sahouti was just 0.328 seconds behind Japan’s Shinya Ezawa, bringing the win to his home track.

Al Sahouti’s consistency in the late race pace edged him over Amon Odaki.

The Qatari driver caught the leader in the race but was shortened by Ezawa, who bolted past Hakim Danish, leaving him trailing in second place.

Regardless of the bronze finish, Al Sahouti finishing was a success as he initially started ninth in the grid.

The younger racer bagged 16 points in the 15-lap race, bringing his total points to 70 on the leaderboard.

Five more races are left in the 10-leg series, and Al Sahouti is in a confident position to compete for the Asia Talent Cup title.
