Speed test series set for gripping finale

AMMAN — The scene is set for a thrilling final round of the 2018 Jordan Speed Test Championship which will be held on Friday at the Royal Automobile Club, according to the Jordan Motorsport Media Service.

Just four points separate the top three drivers with a fourth speedster also having an outside chance of taking the title. And if that was not enough to promise a day of thrills and spills, the points available have been boosted by 50 per cent.

A round four victory elevated Ghaith Wreikat to the top of the standings with reigning champion, Mohammed Tayseer, just two points behind and Husam Salem a further two points adrift in third. Ihab Al Shurafa is fourth on the championship standings.

The excitement is not just confined to the all-wheel championship, with the Rear Wheel category seeing just three points separating Mohammed Naqawa at the top and Salim Tuaima in third, with Jamal Naqawa sandwiched in between. In the Front Wheel Championship, Asem Aref holds a two-point advantage from Mohammad Al Azzeh going into the fifth and final round. A total of 53 drivers have entered with the first car getting into gear from 9:30am
