SYRIAN AUTOMOBILE CLUB (SAC) Training officials in the management of a karting circuit.

In 2019 the Syrian Automobile Club (SAC) developed a programme aimed at training its officials in karting circuit management. As part of the initiative, 15 participants from SAC would visit a karting facility in Oman to be taught the principles of kart circuit management during theoretical and practical sessions. Of these, 8 would also attend a Train the Trainer session in order that they could then train their own local officials back in Syria. SAC would be supported in this programme by Regional Training Provider the Automobile et Touring Club du Liban, as well as by karting experts from Oman. Notwithstanding a difficult situation in Syria, SAC would like to further develop motor sport, in particular a permanent karting circuit in Syria, attracting a new generation to the sport and bringing the community together. SAC envisages the circuit being up and running in 2020 with a view to launching a national championship in 2021.
