Doha: The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) has successfully completed all events listed on the national championships calendar for the year 2020, a top official said yesterday.

“We are proud to announce that this week’s event marked the QMMF’s target of completing all national competitions for the year 2020. There were so many delays because of the COVID-19 situation and we had to reschedule or even postpone events but in the end we managed to do it,” Al Hamad said after the fifth and final round of Qatar National Baja concluded on Saturday.
