“I joined GulfSport Racing for the 2010/2011 UAT GT Championship. Thanks  to their excellent service, technical and motorsport knowledge I had a  faultless car for all my races; which enabled me to win the GT-C championship  from my first try. I rate Gulf Sport Racing highly among all the European  teams I’ve raced with.”

Joe Ghanem – UAE GTC Champion with GulfSport Racing

“My son Fahad (15 years old at the time) and I joined the Radical championship in the UAE Motorsport calendar year 2008-2009. We both enjoyed the season and felt it met all aspects of a well run championship. From the safety to the technical support, the paddock facilities odlffered to drivers, guests, and team were more than adequate, our sponsors and team got the media exposure they expected, and we as drivers enjoyed a very competitive and fair championship. It put my son on the spot light, and I felt it was an important milestone in his career as a upcoming young Saudi driver.

Racing in a fair environment is important for a young driver as it allows him to concentrate on his performance without the frustration unfair play. Handling the media was another growth area for him, where I felt it was there but yet it was not overwhelming, and it allowed him to gain the confidence that enabled him to represent his country, his sponsors, and himself positively. The most important victory we achieved by the end of the season was not only for Fahad to win the SR3 1500 class but also the friends we made and the wonderful Motorsport moments we had along the season. I salute Mr. Hope, his wonderful family, and qualified team for making it all possible.”

“When it comes to quality and service, there are very few places you can trust. I came up with my caterham for a very special work consiting of upgrading everything from brakes, suspensions, gearbox, new engine, etc…

This conversion never done by caterham themselves was a real challenge that gulfsport racing managed very well despite several difficulties and tricks required.
After a year of road and track days, the car is still running perfctly which proves a quality work done!
Congratulations… “

“Barry Hope and his team at Gulfsport is a highly reputable and professional group of people. They are friendly, approachable, very supportive in your role working with them, and make you feel an integral part of the team regardless of your experience within Motor Sport.

I personally as the MD of Caveman Fitness have worked, and continue to work, with Gulfsport on a Driver Training Programme and have found that, as with my business and part of the programme, it is how they speak to drivers, listen to their questions, and observe their reactions to situations, that makes a huge difference to the drivers willingness to learn and technically, physically, emotionally improve that sets them above all others in their field of work.

I highly recommend the Team at Gulfsport to any business or individual wanting to be involved in motor sport at any level.”

“In mid 2008 I came up with the crazy idea to import a Caterham 7 Roadsport into Dubai with a view to use it for my sole form of transport. An article in a Dubai based auto journal ran a feature on such a car which included the contact details of Gulf Sport racing – the importers. A quick phone call to Barry Hope resulted in a flurry of e-mails where individual specifications were reviewed and discussed, with an order finally being placed on October 2008. Regular clear updates were conveyed to me regarding the production and shipping dates with an arrival late in December as forecast. The car was imported in kit form with a view that Gulf sports would assemble it in their workshop in Al Quoz, which they did with remarkable speed and efficiency, with occasional hiccups due to missing parts. By January 2009 all was ready and Gulf Sports duly registered it for the road which was far from straight forward given the nature of the car. Gulf Sports quality of build was superb with early teething problems associated with transmission part defects being dealt with very efficiently. I have run the car every day since first registering it, apart from summer upgrades that I have opted for. It is now time to repatriate the car and Gulf Sports have recently converted the car from left to right hand drive. I can honestly say that without Gulf Sports technical expertise and diligence it would have been impossible to develop and run such a car in Dubai. The level of experience and skill of their technical staff is second to none.”
