Can Hijjawi be stopped in Karting Challenge?

AMMAN — Reigning champion Manaf Hijjawi can take a giant step towards retaining his Jordan Rotax Max Karting Challenge on Monday night when Jordan Motorsport organises the national championship’s third round, according to the Jordan Motorsport Media Service.

The event will be held at the Jordan Speed Centre, and is set to get under way with the competitors warming up from 9pm. Following a superb round two where he completed a clean sweep of the three races, Hijjawi is sitting 33 points clear as the five-round championship heads towards its midway point.

But waiting to pounce on any mistake that Hijjawi may make will be Rakan Qumouq and Amir Al Najjar, who lie second and third, respectively, in the championship standings. In the highly competitive Mini-Max series, Faisal Al Nashkho holds the advantage at the top, while Hamzeh Qumouq is top of the Junior Max Series.
