As part of its continuing commitment to encourage and support talented Omani youths, and pursuant to its on-going endeavors to promote responsible corporate citizenship, National Bank of Oman (NBO) is proud to announce its partnership with Brand Ambassador, Ahmad al Harthy, for a unique venture, titled: 'National Bank of Oman Racing Project-2013'.
The "National Bank of Oman Racing Project" is a venture in which the Bank sponsors Ahmed Al Harthy in two events.
The first event is the British GT, an on-going project launched in March 2013, which is a continuation of the bank's 2012 two-year arrangement with Harthy.
The other event is the Blancpain Championship that commenced in April 2013, in which Al Harthy will be racing with the bank as his title sponsor.
The British GT Championship is taking fast strides to become one of the most favorite and renowned sports car championships in the UK, while Blancpain is associating itself with the series as official partner of the British GT Champion, thereby earning itself a strong presence in the field of English GT Racing.
Featuring a mix of professional and amateur drivers, this championship offers various race formats on the various weekends.
As part of the sponsorship arrangement, Harthy will be racing with the bank as his title sponsor.
Harthy has already delivered an outstanding performance in his debut performance at the Blancpain 2013 Endurance Series, held in Monza, Italy recently.
Not only is the bank providing vital support for a true homegrown talent, the confirmation of Ahmad's ambassadorial role for the bank also means he will be working hard on and off track to consolidate Oman's place on the international sports map.
Commenting on the tie up, Ahmed al Musalmi, Deputy CEO said: "National Bank of Oman firmly believes in the importance of supporting and encouraging talented young Omani citizens. Ahmad Al Harthy has established himself as a top Omani racing driver and has repeatedly placed Oman on the international map. He is indeed an ideal role model for the younger generation. We already partner Ahmad in the British GT Championship and are proud to back him for the high profile Blancpain Endurance Series as well-a reiteration of our commitment to Omani talent and the Sultanate of Oman".
