I am so proud we have such a wonderful track in my country and I intend on making full use of its facilities. Stage 1 is a basic introduction to driving on a circuit, and I learnt about cornering technique and taking the ideal racing line. I was nervous at the beginning but my instructor made me feel very comfortable. I managed to improve my technique during my 10 laps”, said Nahla.
