Bangladesh driver takes Renault Clio Cup class victories on Formula 1 layout

Bangladesh's Avik Anwar won both Renault Clio Cup class races as the Gulf Pro Car Series began its season at Yas Marina Circuit on November 1, securing a clean sweep in Round 1.

The races were held on the Formula 1 Grand Prix configuration at Yas Marina, a 5.2km layout. Anwar finished ahead of competitors from Sri Lanka, Russia and India in both outings.

"I am deeply grateful for these victories," Anwar said after the event. "One of today's trophies is dedicated to my fellow countrymen who are enduring hardship during this period of political uncertainty. The other trophy I dedicate to the future leadership of Bangladesh, who will guide the country forward in the years to come."

The two victories were Anwar's 15th and 16th at Yas Marina and take his overall tally to 88 trophies in international and regional motorsport competitions.
