​​Sohar International Sponsors the racing star Ahmad Al Harthy

​Reinforcing our commitment to empowering Omani talent and elevating the nation’s presence on the global stage, we are pleased to sponsor the Omani racing driver, Ahmad Al Harthy, for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC).

This collaboration aligns with Sohar International’s vision of fostering excellence, leadership, and national pride through strategic alliances. Ahmad Al Harthy, a pioneering figure in Omani motorsport and the first sportsperson to receive a Royal Commendation from His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, exemplifies the values of determination and success that the bank upholds.

We take great pride in supporting homegrown talent who not only carry the Omani flag internationally but also inspire the next generation to push boundaries and achieve greatness.

Ahmad Al Harthy will compete for a second season with BMW and Team WRT in the FIA WEC, driving the high-profile No. 46 BMW M4 LMGT3 alongside legendary motorsport figures Valentino Rossi and Kelvin van der Linde. This marks his third year in the global endurance championship, further strengthening Oman’s representation on the world stage.

Ahmad Al Harthy’s stellar performances in 2024, including a P2 podium finish in Jeddah and a historic P1 victory at Monza in the Bronze entry classification, have solidified his status as a formidable competitor. His recent triumph in the Michelin 24H Dubai GT3-Am class further underscores his capabilities heading into the 2025 season. The FIA WEC 2025 season kicks off in Qatar on February 28, with the championship spanning eight rounds across Italy, Belgium, France, Brazil, the USA, Japan, and concluding in Bahrain on November 8.

Sohar International continues its mission of investing in Omani talent and contributing to national progress across diverse sectors. As the bank expands its global footprint, it remains dedicated to driving innovation, excellence, and success for the Sultanate on the world stage.
