Pakistani motorsports takes a leap forward as the Omni Racing team, comprised of the top 4 racing drivers of the country, Syed Ovais Naqvi (c), Shahzeb Qureshi, Omer Khuhro, and Sanaan Jamali, prepares to compete in the first round of the Dubai Endurance Championship 2024 on Feb 24. “Motorsports in Pakistan has long lacked a dedicated facility to foster talent and nurture passion,” says Syed Ovais Naqvi, CEO of Omni Karting Circuit (OKC) and captain of the Omni Racing team. “With the launch of OKC’s international-standard track, we aim to invigorate the sport, holding local championships and providing comprehensive training and development programs.” Naqvi further emphasizes, “Our goal is to elevate Pakistani karting to an official sport, allowing individuals to hone their skills and compete internationally. Through initiatives like Omni Racing, we aim to empower our top drivers to showcase their talent on the global stage, raising the name of OKC and Pakistan with pride.” Omni Racing, the official racing team of OKC, serves as a bridge for talented local drivers who have excelled in domestic championships to compete at the international level to enhance their skills & race craft. By participating in international events like the Dubai Championship, the team provides them with a valuable platform for driver development to gain experience, compete against global competitors, and further their aspirations. Omni Racing has been created with a vision to provide opportunities, give inspiration and hope to the public of Pakistan and local youth.
