KUWAIT, Oct 24 (KUNA): The second round of the Inspire Kuwait International Open Roll Race Championship, organized by Kuwait Motorsport Club, began on Thursday at the Kuwait Motor Town in the Arijfan area, in the southern part of the country.
The two-day event features 290 participants competing across 11 categories, as part of the Kuwait Youth and Sports Season.
Dr. Falah Al-Mahawesh, Chairman of the "Inspire" Club, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the "roll race" competitions, or acceleration races for cars and motorcycles, have attracted many participants from the Gulf region.
He said this reflects growing interest in motorsports and shows the need to develop the championships further and expand local and regional participation.
Al-Mahawesh added that the club is preparing additional local rounds in 2027.
One round is scheduled for March 25-26, followed by another on April 1-2.
These events aim to give competitors more opportunities and strengthen motorsports' presence throughout the season.
He noted that the current championship includes a range of side events, with booths, food trucks, family areas, and a dedicated zone for children's games.
He added that, following a proposal by the Minister of State for Youth and Sports Affairs, Dr. Tariq Al-Jalahma, the club will soon organize the Middle East's first quad-bike racing championship for children and youth under 18.
The initiative aims to discover promising young talent early and develop their skills in a structured, safe environment.
Al-Mahwash expressed his deep gratitude to Minister Al-Jalahma for his support and attention to motorsports.
He also acknowledged the presence of the Vice President of the Kuwait Olympic Committee, Sheikh Mubarak Faisal Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.
He said such support encourages further development of motorsports, Kuwaiti youth participation in athletic competitions, and higher standards of event organization.
He added that the first round's success reflects the significant efforts of the club's board of directors, the organizing committees, and the technical and administrative teams.
Working with the Kuwait Motor Town and other relevant entities, they delivered a championship that met all technical and organizational requirements, as well as safety and security standards.
This provides an ideal competitive environment for participants and spectators alike.
The Kuwaiti "Inspire" Sports Club for Cars and Motorcycles covers all forms of motorsports, including automobile and motorcycle racing.
