Brand to better follow the project has moved from Holland to United Arab Emirates.

The team is managed by Luigi Gariano, a man of great experience in the territory of the Emirates, having already worked with Formula K (Nomad Racing), Tony Kart (Scuderia) and Sodi (Sodi Kart Middle East) as regards the management, relationship with drivers, logistic and administrative aspects.

The Brand Racing Middle East uses a remarkable structure, which includes two semi-articulated, a 12 T truck and a 12-seater van for personnel transport. The latter is composed of 6 fixed professionals, plus other mechanics who lend their part time work during the competition days.
