CircuitProDigital.com brings English language, daily motorsport news with specialist updates from circuits, races and drivers in the Arabian Gulf. We cover all main National race series in the region as well as International race events. Our race reports are all official, from the horses mouth so to speak, and just as the sender intended, so what you read here is, well, the official story.
The site itself is developed and managed by XSPORT, a UK based motorsports events and management company, CircuitProDigital.com was created in July 2009.
Day to day editorial falls in the hands of two individuals ( Lex Akehurst and Darren Rycroft ) who have worked together since 2007 whilst at the magazine ‘Full Throttle’, distributed throughout the Middle East region. Upon its unfortunate demise, they co-founded this online motorsports news portal. They have also written for mainstream Newspapers and Magazines world wide and provided photography and media services for the past decade in the region.
Both Lex and Darren have previously raced themselves (now happily semi-retired) in cars and bikes. Lex was the first woman to be on the Podium in circuit racing at Dubai Autodrome in 2006, and the first woman to attain her FIM National Bike road race licence in the region. Darren has raced in UK in Superbikes and MotoX classes, and in Dubai raced MotoX for many years. They understand how consuming it can be to try to focus on the race day itself and juggle PR, promotion and manage sponsors.
They have first hand experience in running Championship events, teams, and media delegates too, and are well placed to offer additional services for the benefit of the athletes and the sport in general.
