Just over six weeks away and the 2025/26 Gulf Radical Cup will kick off in style at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Following one of the most successful years to date, this coming season looks to be equally as competitive and enjoyable for teams and drivers from the UAE and further afield.
GRC regulars Amir Feyzulin and Johnny Khazzoum will line up on the grid in their SR3 XXR machines, alongside them will be Alex Chachava and Alex Novichkov, who both made their debut in the GRC last season. Novichkov impressively took the National Class title last season, and is expected to build on that and run up the front this season.
UK racer Andy Lowe will also make his return, and after impressive running in the UK and US series this season is expected to be on pace. Peri Daremas also found great pace at the end of last season, so is expected to get back on the podium. Jahid Karim has also upgraded to an XXR and looking to work his way up the field, hoping to take a podium in the National Class!
There will also be some new faces on the grid, aviation entrepreneur Aleksandr Celiadin will make his racing debut in his new SR3 XXR at the first round.
Experienced Radical racer Chris Preen will also be there for Round 1, after his success last season, picking up a win at the Round 4 Enduro also at YAS.
We will also see several new domestic and international entries throughout the season, bringing an extra edge to the already competitive field. With a mix of experienced campaigners and ambitious newcomers, the 2025/26 Gulf Radical Cup promises close racing, dramatic battles, and plenty of action under the lights at Yas Marina Circuit and Dubai Autodrome.
The calendar will once again feature iconic UAE venues, including Yas Marina and Dubai Autodrome, providing drivers with the perfect stage to showcase the performance of the Radical SR3 XXR. Endurance formats and sprint races will ensure both strategy and outright pace are rewarded.
With the Radical community in the region continuing to grow, the Gulf Radical Cup remains the premier platform for aspiring and established racers alike.
The season officially kicks off on 1st November at Yas Marina Circuit. Spectators are welcome, and live updates will be shared across the Gulf Radical Cup’s digital channels.
