Promising champion karting driver Oliver Allam (born in 2009) achieved an international milestone by reaching the podium for the first time in his international career, securing third place in the second race of the "Middle East Cup" held
On the Sharjah Emirate Circuit (United Arab Emirates), with the participation of more than one hundred drivers in all age categories and from a large number of countries around the world from all five continents.
Allam, the runner-up in the Lebanese Men's Karting Championship for the L category in 2025, succeeded in establishing himself in the Men's category (Senior 170) after a great and professional performance from him, even though he is not yet 17 years old. He presented a great show on board an X30 Senior kart (with 30 horsepower) that was admired.
In detail, the competition witnessed two races over two days. In the first race, Allam, who has a great future ahead of him in motorsports, took fourth place, but he managed to climb to the podium in third place in the second race, a podium that is dear to his heart because it is his first international title, knowing that he is the runner-up in the Lebanese Men’s Championship for 2025.
After his victory, Allam said, "God granted me success in achieving third place in the second race, and I am proud to have raised the Lebanese flag when I received my award. I achieved the goal I set before participating in the Emirate of Sharjah, and my sights were set on a podium finish, my first internationally, and I succeeded in that. As soon as I return to Lebanon, I will prepare intensively to participate in the 2026 Lebanese Men's Championship at the RPM Circuit (Metn), and I will compete for first place, knowing that I was the runner-up in the 2025 edition, and I am capable of doing so. In conclusion, I would like to thank Basic and Adir Insurance for their sponsorship, and thanks are also due to the YASA Association for its humanitarian work."
