The first day of the Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2024 opened with the first practice session of the fifth round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East for the 2023/2024 season. The teams and their drivers rely on free trial sessions to familiarize themselves with the track and adjust the standards and settings before entering the official competitions, starting with the qualifying session scheduled to be held tomorrow, Friday.
Although it is still early to talk about the candidates for this round, driver Hugh Overhouse achieved a remarkable lead during the first tests. The German driver recorded the fastest lap of 2 minutes and 02.464 seconds, completing 17 laps in the 45-minute session, which was the first track event of the Grand Prix weekend. He was followed in the standings by Dutchman Robert De Haan with a best lap of 2:02.500, while Dutchman Flint Schuring also took third place in the timetable with a best lap of 2:02.527. All three are competing this weekend in the Pro category. The Bahrain team was represented by Sheikh Jaber bin Ali Al Khalifa in the Ams category, while Ahmed Al Shehabi drove the Kuwait team’s car in the ProAms category.
