Abu Dhabi: Fadi Abu Shehadeh edged Faisal Al Zaabi and Hazza Al Hosani to clinch the Red Bull Car Park Drift UAE Qualifier at Abu Dhabi Corniche over the weekend on the sidelines of the Red Bull Air Race.

Abu Shehadeh will now represent the UAE in the Series Final later this year.

“I am very proud of my team and dedicate this win to them,” he said. “I can’t wait to represent the UAE at the Red Bull Car Park Drift finals, and hope to bring the title back here to the UAE and make them proud.”

The UAE Qualifier was the second in the Red Bull Car Park Series, after the inaugural event took place in the Omani capital Muscat, and saw defending King of Drift Refaat Al Yahyai emerge victorious. He now aims to keep the title in Oman for the third year running.
