Ahmad Al Harthy wins Pro-Am1 title in round 18 Al Harthy becomes the first Omani to win at this levelAl Harthy scores 12 wins and a further four podiums in 18 racesAhmad Al Harthy clinched the Pro-Am1 title in the 2012 Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion during round 18 at Silverstone on Sunday.

Oman-based Al Harthy has driven a superb campaign and richly deserved his title with two races still to run at Brands Hatch on 21 October.We dreamed about ending it this way and finally Im a champion and that feels really great, he said after climbing down from the podium. It has been three years of hard work to get to this point. It hasnt sunk in yet, but Im sure it will on the flight back home. Im so excited about this.Al Harthy is a very popular member of the Carrera Cup grid, having joined the series in 2010. He commutes from his home in Oman for each race weekend and works hard to promote his home country and his sponsors.I must say a massive thanks to the guys from Redline Racing, who are behind the Oman Air Racing Team car: theyre the best in the business, he said. I love Silverstone and to be able to get two wins this weekend was exactly what we wanted and to wrap-up the championship with a dominant win is something very special. Its also a very proud moment for me to be the first Omani and the first Arab driver to win a title like this in such a prestigious series.
