Al Faisal showcases his BMW M4 GT3 Evo to the public
Oman's Al Faisal al Zubair and Al Manar Racing Team unveiled their new car, the BMW M4 GT3 Evo, to the public ahead of their participation in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups this season, where Al Faisal remains the only Arab competitor in the Gold Class. The car is currently on display at City Centre Seeb until April 3, giving the public a chance to get an up-close look before it returns to the global racetracks, where Al Faisal and his team are set for an extraordinary season spanning ten races. The season's official launch was announced recently at a major press conference attended by both local and international media representatives.
Fans will have a rare opportunity to explore the BMW M4 GT3 Evo, the latest car Al Faisal will drive in the upcoming season. Having previously raced with Mercedes and, before that, Porsche, and being the only racer to win back-to-back Porsche BWT GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East titles in 2018 and 2019, this marks an exciting new challenge as he joins the world-renowned WRT team for the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe, competing in both endurance and sprint races.

Al Faisal's debut with WRT was already historic, as he became the first Omani driver to claim victory in the prestigious Dubai 24 Hours race.
'I am very excited to introduce the new car to the public before the season begins. It is a great chance for fans to see it up close and learn more about its technical features and modifications. This is also an opportunity to showcase the GT World Challenge, one of the most thrilling and competitive motorsport disciplines, featuring a diverse lineup of manufacturers,' Al Faisal al Zubair said.
The action kicks off with the opening round of the Endurance Cup at the Paul Ricard circuit in France on April 11-13. The 2025 season will include ten high-profile races on some of the world's most renowned circuits.
Al Faisal is determined to make his mark in the upcoming season with his new team and car. After an impressive run last year, where he consistently reached the podium, his biggest achievement was winning the Gold Class at the CrowdStrike Spa 24 Hours, making him the only Arab driver to secure this title. He also ended the season as vice-champion of the GTWC Gold Cup 2024, securing four podiums in five races.
