Team Pit Stop is back!
World Endurance third-placed winner Carrasco to race for Qatari team - Team Pit Stop!
Doha: Team Pit Stop is back at the racing track. The management decided to field the team in upcoming second round of the Qatar International Road Racing Championship, to be held at the Losail International Circuit during the World Superbike weekend.
The season-opening World Superbike Race is scheduled in Qatar at the Losail International Circuit. The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation's decision to hold the Qatari support race round two will draw a lot of international media attention.
Till last season, Team Pit Stop had been racing four local riders. But this time, the team management has chosen to enter Spanish rider Victor Carrasco, whose presence is certain to add a plenty of spice and excitement to the series.
Carrasco, in November 2007, had raced for the Qatar Enduracing Racing Team in the World Endurance Championship. In the sixth and final round in Doha, he raced brilliantly and helped the QERT to finish third.
Carrasco has been an experienced rider with three Supersport races to his name. The Spanish rider is sure to test the Qatari talent as well other riders from different countries. So his arrival is not only good for the series but also for the Qatari riders as well.
Team Pit Stop, the first official team run and managed by Qatari Nationals has had a sound reputation at the national circuit. "Our riders had done very well over the past two seasons and we're runners-up in the Superbike category and when we raced the Supersport category for the first time in 2007, we secured the 4th and 5th position overall," said Mansour Al Ansari, the manager.
"This year, we decided not race in the QIRRCH as we faced some unavoidable problems, but we love racing and want to contribute positively to the growth of the sport in Qatar. So we thought to bring a professional rider to race for us during the World Superbike weekend," Mansour said about the reason for racing this season.
"We are grateful to our Title Sponsor, Qatar Building Company for partnering up with us. Also, Gulf Agency Company, Park Plaza Hotels and Resorts, Pronto Printing Press have contributed to making the Team Pit Stop's participation a reality. Without their support, it would have just impossible for us to race on such short notice. We express our deepest gratitude to our sponsors again. We hope to do well in the race to justify their faith in us," added Mansour.

Good Morning,
how you doing, If pitstop does not update, then I shall try to get you the details.
It has been published in the Gulf times and Peninsula these past couple of days.
This event is the start of the season.
Thanks
if you post the details like timing and places on this thread, i will put it up on QL calendar for you
or you can PM me.
I know and have seen in the newspaper the advert. for the superbike race from 21st to 23rd. Feb' 2008
Why not put it up as an event and also post the color advert. It would be good for everyone to know and for people to attend.
If I remember right, last year, the tickets were sold at Loisal race course at Qrs.65/- for the day event and the three day season ticket is cheap.
People will have to cater to themselves or can buy sandwitches, soft drinks and coffee at the race course.
Timing maybe from 0900 to 1700hours.
Please confirm by putting up the actual event.
Thanks
wish we could make it to the superbike races....
All the best Carasco...
....good to see a home grown team...managed and run by Qatari talent..
