Ali Baslar won the second and final round of the Bahrain SSWS Ramadan Challenge, held last Monday night at Bahrain International Karting Circuit (BIKC) in Sakhir.
Baslar managed to eke out a fine victory in the meeting’s 15-lap final race, held along BIKC’s 1.414km Commission Internationale de Karting Track.

Yousif Khamiri was classified fourth, Abubaker Ali was fifth and Khaled Alsaie sixth. Abdulla Al Thawadi and Talal Beshara rounded out the top eight.
