• The Emirati sisters AMNA and HAMDA AL QUBAISI delivered a masterclass in racecraft at Le Mans, climbing from 12th on the grid to finish 6th in the Ligier European Series despite having virtually zero practice time. After a red-flagged practice session left them with just one lap of experience before qualifying, they maximized a challenging situation with the kind of strategic driving that separates contenders from also-rans.
• AMNA’s opening stint was pure aggression executed with precision—she carved through the field from P12 to P6 in just six laps, picking off rivals with clinical overtakes while capitalizing on chaos ahead. When HAMDA took over, she immediately got to work, engaging in a fierce four-car battle and consistently posting lap times in the 4:12s that were quicker than her immediate competitors, proving these sisters have the pace to run with anyone.
• This Le Mans drive continues the AL QUBAISI sisters’ impressive transition from F1 Academy standouts to legitimate sportscar contenders, following their Barcelona podium and double fourth-place finishes at Le Castellet. Now sitting fourth in the championship standings just two points off the podium positions, they’re building exactly the kind of resume that opens doors in endurance racing—and doing it at the most iconic circuit in motorsport.
