GLOBAL logistics giants DHL Express held an honouring ceremony for champion Bahraini karter Rashed Almuammari.
Present were DHL Middle East and Africa distribution hub and gateway facility general manager Ali Aryan, other high-ranking officials and staff members.
DHL has supported Almuammari this season in international events as well as national karting championships held at Bahrain International Karting Circuit in Sakhir.
“Rashed is a very talented karting driver and we are very pleased to have supported him this season,” said Aryan.
“He is one of the brightest young drivers in the sport and his race wins and results speak for themselves.”
Aryan added that Almuammari is an exceptional coach who takes young drivers under his wing with the aim of helping them develop their racing skills.
“Aside from his talent, the one thing that makes Rashed a very special individual is his commitment to helping develop young drivers,” Aryan explained. “He has put up his own driving school to accomplish this.
“He sees the potential in some young but very enthusiastic karters and puts in the time and effort to help them grow into the best karters they can be.
“Rashed not only thinks about himself but looks out for others as well.”
Commenting on the occasion, Almuammari said: “I would like to thank DHL Express for the support they have given me for my international and national races. We are so proud to have a company like theirs back me since 2013; they were always there for me and I could not have achieved what I had without their support.
“We are already planning a longer partnership moving forward. We hope for further success between us and DHL. We hope to be in the same picture that they are imagining for the future and participate together in international and national races.
“We wish that this sponsorship and our partnership remains for a long period of time.”
