2Seas celebrates dominant wins at British GT in Oulton Park
Bahrain's 2Seas Motorsport continued their strong run in the British GT Championship, storming to a superb double-podium weekend at Oulton Park in Cheshire, United Kingdom. Under the ownership of HH Shaikh Isa bin Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the team delivered a standout performance, flying the Bahraini flag high on international ground.
With two rounds taking place over the weekend, 2Seas fielded a pair of cars in a fiercely competitive grid of more than 30. In the first race, drivers Kevin Tse and Maximilian Götz produced a stellar drive, battling through a hotly contested field to take a well-earned win and step onto the top of the podium.
Race two saw the pair convert their pole position start into a strong win, navigating tricky conditions with clinical preci-sion to seal back-to-back victories. Their teamwork and composure under pressure highlighted their growing presence in the championship.
Title Hopes Alive
Meanwhile, team mates Charles Dawson and Kern Joyce endured a more challenging weekend, facing stiff competition throughout both races. Despite the obstacles, they kept their heads down and secured top-ten finishes in both rounds, which was enough to maintain their lead in the overall championship standings.
Their consistency continues to be a major asset for the team's title ambitions, and the ability to bank solid points un-der pressure reflects the depth of the squad.
Team owner HH Shaikh Isa bin Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa expressed his pride in the team's performance, high-lighting the importance of these results in boosting Bahrain's profile in global motorsport.
'This victory is a proud moment for all of us,' he said. 'It reflects not only the talent of our drivers but also the hard work of the entire team behind the scenes—engineers, strategists, and mechanics. Flying the flag of Bahrain in such a competitive environment is a true honour.'

Bahrain Basketball Establishes Legacy, Muharraq Takes Top Prize
TDT | Manama When it came down to the wire, Muharraq showed why they're a force to be reckoned with. The five-game thriller against Al Ahli didn't feature flashy stat lines or overwhelming dominance, but instead, showed patience, resilience, and championship poise. Winning 3–2, Muharraq proved steady under pressure, delivering when it mattered most. The fifth and decisive game was played in front of a packed Khalifa Sports City Hall on Saturday night, with thousands of fans turning the arena into a cauldron of noise. The occasion, from the play on court to the presentation ceremony, was as much a celebration of the game as it was of the winners. Final Fitting of the Rivalry There were no blowouts, no easy quarters. Just two of Bahrain's top sides going at it with poise and pride. The series, tied 2–2 going into Saturday, had already proven its worth — momentum swings, tight finishes, and standout moments across all four previous games. Muharraq leaned on their defensive structure and bench depth, weathering Al Ahli's perimeter shooting and transition offense. The final game saw both teams lock in early, but it was Muharraq's ability to stay composed in the clutch, especially in the final quarter, that tilted the outcome. From Ceremony to Legacy The evening's climax came with the trophy presentation, where His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, Vice President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, awarded Muharraq players with gold medals, while Al Ahli received their silvers. In his remarks, Shaikh Isa praised both teams for delivering a high-calibre series that showed the growth of Bahraini basketball. 'Such finals highlight the level our basketball has reached, in play and in passion,' said Shaikh Isa. 'The energy in the stands and the competitiveness on the court are a sign that the sport here is thriving.' Also in attendance were Alaa Modara, President of the Bahrain Basketball Association, and Ammar Al Kutbi, Acting CEO of Zain Bahrain, whose sponsorship continues to elevate the league's profile. More Than a Game This title win adds another chapter to Muharraq's rich history, but the broader win is for the game itself. The five-match saga reaffirmed the league's credibility as a platform for high-level, locally nurtured basketball. The turnout, the noise, the tension all confirmed one thing: Bahrain's basketball culture is no longer just emerging, it's established. With the national league growing in reach and the Olympic Committee's ongoing support, Bahraini basketball looks set to continue its upward trajectory. The season may be over, but the message is clear — this is a league worth watching.
