The Zain Bahrain Racing Team was honoured by the telecom company at a reception for emerging as Bahrain champions in the 2011/2012 drag racing season.

The team also had a winning streak at the Yas Marina drag racing circuit in Abu Dhabi.

“We are delighted with the passion and commitment that the Zain Bahrain Racing Team has shown since we backed them and our faith in their talent in motorsports has been amply justified by their winning track record,” said general manager Mohammed Zainalabedin, who gave away the awards.

Samya Hussein, corporate communications manager, added: “Zain Bahrain’s support of the racing team is part of our vision for youth activities and nurturing of Bahraini talent – this is an all-Bahraini team and we are sure its success will inspire more motorsports enthusiasts to join the field.”

The team will be participating in coming months in the Arabian Gulf Drag Racing League and in the Doha drag racing circuit while they have to defend their titles in both Bahrain and Yas Marina championships, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
