Biography

Al Musalam competed in the Porsche Supercup support race to the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix in a guest entry, finishing the race 23rd.

The Bahraini was a regular in the Chevrolet Supercars Middle East Championship in the late-2000s and early-2010s, a single-make Improved Production series for Chevrolet Luminas based at the Bahrain International Circuit. He won the 2007–08 series, earning a test with V8 Supercars team Garry Rogers Motorsport at Winton Motor Raceway.[1] Later that season, Team Kiwi Racing hired Al Musalam to compete in the 2008 Desert 400 at the Bahrain International Circuit, becoming the first Middle Eastern driver to compete in V8 Supercars.[2] Al Musalam qualified last, over 1.5 seconds behind Andrew Jones in second-last, and finished a best of 23rd in the first of three races.[3]
