A Bit About Me

Representing the team, Hazaa A.J. Al Hosani, an ADNOC employee, is the champion of the Emirates Drift Championship 2019, placed 3rd in the Red Bull Car Park Drift, and has achieved numerous successes in both national and international events.

Most recently, Hazaa competed in the FIA Spain 2024 competition and the first-ever Oman MENA Drift Cup, where he qualified third but unfortunately exited in the Top 16 due to mechanical issues.

One of his notable achievements includes participating in the Oman Drift Championship, which featured many international professional drifters such as Daigo Saito, James Deane, Kristaps Bluss, and other world champions.

“Sim racing is a working tool for professional drivers,” Hazaa said.

“In Drift races, there are key factors that we have in professional motorsport, and it helps us improve in; angle, speed while handling the car, strategy management during the race, teamwork, use and understanding of judging since it is the only motorsport which is judged and not timed, etc.”

“In my opinion, there is nothing impossible if you want it enough. Ask yourself, how bad do you really want it?”

“Drifting podiums can’t be reached without a hardworking team behind it.”
