Muscat – After a two-month break from motor racing action, GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup driver Ahmad Al Harthy is refreshed and determined to mount a bid for healthy championship points at round four of the season in Germany on Sunday.

The penultimate event of the 2026 GTWCE campaign will be hosted this weekend at Nurburgring Grand Prix Circuit, where Al Harthy, Calan Williams and Javier Sagrera will target a strong fightback after an unfortunate retirement from the 24 Hours of Spa in late July.

“It’s been a long break of a couple of months since we were last in action at Spa, but we’ve been working hard behind the scenes and focusing on delivering the best car and set-up we can for this weekend’s action. I’m delighted to be back in Germany again, Nurburgring is a special place and a track that is, of course, very important for BMW,” said Al Harthy.

“Spa was disappointing, but the effort and performance the whole team produced was incredible and we can all be proud of the teamwork we delivered. Hopefully we can be back challenging for the podium and pull some points back in the championship. One thing is for sure, we’ll be working as hard as we can and aiming to give everyone back home in Oman something to celebrate!” 

Marking the Omani’s first visit to the Nürburgring since 2024, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO racer is hopeful of a return to the highly competitive podium battle in the Bronze Cup and especially so at the ‘home’ track of the Bavarian manufacturer – this season marking the Omani’s third racing with BMW power.

Starting off the GTWCE Endurance season with a strong top six Bronze Cup result at Circuit Paul Ricard in France in April, a six-hour into the night race, Al Harthy, Williams and Sagrera charged to a fantastic third-place finish in the three-hour Monza race in May.

Securing the first podium result for the new Oman Racing by Century Motorsport collaboration, the three teammates stormed from eighth on the grid in the Bronze Cup and 47th overall to climb into third in Bronze and just outside the outright top 10.

Combining great teamwork, consistency, speed and reliability, Al Harthy proudly flew the Omani flag on the podium, and he would dearly love to do so again at the weekend when he faces the challenge of the famous 5.1-kilometre, 15-corner Nürburgring. 

With prestigious support, as ever, from his chief partners OQ, Omantel, Oman LNG, Oman Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth and BMW Oman, double Endurance Cup Pro-Am Champion Al Harthy is aiming high for this Sunday’s race and determined to climb back up the championship table.
