Accomplished Talent Harry Hannam Joins GulfSport Racing for 2025/26 Gulf Radical Cup

Dubai, UAE – GulfSport Racing is excited to announce that promising British driver Harry Hannam will join the team for the upcoming 2025/26 Gulf Radical Cup, marking an exciting next step in his motorsport career.

Hannam’s racing journey began at an early age in the UAE, cutting his teeth in the local karting scene where he honed his racecraft on his way to collecting 4 national karting Championships and successful appearances in multiple karting world finals.

In 2024, Hannam made the step up to cars by dominating the 2024/25 Renault Clio Cup Middle East. At the end of that season, he made a wild card entry into the Gulf Radical Cup SuperPrix, where he delivered an impressive debut performance. Despite facing a grid packed with experienced drivers, Hannam showcased both pace and maturity, gaining the attention of Gulf Radical Cup teams and drivers alike.

Now, the 2025/26 Gulf Radical Cup presents Hannam with the opportunity to take his career to the next level. Racing in a GulfSport Racing prepared Radical SR3 XXR, he will compete on two of the regions top tracks, Yas Marina Circuit and Dubai Autodrome. With vital support from H&R (by MSW - Exclusive regional distributor) and GulfSport Racing, Hannam is going for the top spot this season. 

“I’ve been passionate about motorsport from the very beginning,” Hannam commented. “Karting gave me the skills and mindset to compete, and last season’s SuperPrix was a great taste of driving the Radical SR3. It’s for sure the right step in my campaign to compete at the highest level of GT and Sportscar racing. Joining GulfSport Racing for a full Gulf Radical Cup is a great opportunity. I’m ready to learn, progress, and push for a top spot this season.” 

GulfSport Racing is equally excited about welcoming Hannam. “Harry has shown great commitment and potential in his racing so far,” said a GulfSport Racing’s Martin Hope. “We’re looking forward to supporting his development and helping him achieve strong results in what will be a very competitive season.”

Hannam will be in his SR3 XXR next week at the first Pre Season test on Yas Marina Circuit.

The Gulf Radical Cup is one of the region’s leading one-make championships, attracting a mix of drivers from the UAE and further afield. The 2025/26 season begins this October and promises another year of close and competitive racing.

2025/26 Season - Just Around the Corner!

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.
