On the occasion, HH Shaikh Isa bin Abdulla said: ” An incredible drive by all four of the boys today, who each delivered a fantastic drive, and I am so proud of the whole 2 Seas Motorsport team. The results this season have been a real team effort, and to recover from the back of the field on lap 1 and a 20-second success penalty to finish P3 and P4 reinforces what a great team effort it was, and it was a great way to secure our first championship title.”
