Oman Racing by Century Motorsport is excited to confirm a powerhouse driver lineup for the 2026 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Bronze Cup, featuring endurance ace Ahmad Al Harthy, double GTWC titleholder Calan Williams and versatile young racer Javier Sagrera. The squad will announce its fourth driver for the iconic CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa endurance race in due course, completing a formidable roster for the season ahead. Further details, new livery will be unveiled in due course.
The signing of Ahmad Al Harthy brings extensive endurance racing experience and a strong motorsport background to the programme, highlighting his status as one of the Middle East’s top drivers. Hailing from Muscat, he has competed in some of the world’s most prestigious GT and endurance series, including multiple stints in the FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 class and remarkable performances in the European Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2023, he made history by finishing runner up in the LMGTE Am category at the Centenary Le Mans, becoming the first Omani to reach the podium.
Since joining BMW M Motorsport for a dual programme in WEC and GT World Challenge Europe, Al Harthy has consistently demonstrated strong pace, earning podiums and solid qualifying results in the BMW M4 GT3 alongside world class teammates Valentino Rossi and Kelvin van der Linde. Off the track, he serves as a BMW brand ambassador and was recognised as the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship Sports Racer of the Year, reflecting both his on-track success and his wider influence in promoting motorsport across the region.
Following a successful transition from single seaters to GT and endurance racing, Australian racer Calan Williams has established himself as a versatile international talent. After rising through karting in Western Australia, he quickly made a mark in Junior Formula racing, winning the Australian Formula 3 Premier Series title in 2017 before moving to Europe to pursue his professional career. In Europe, he competed in the FIA Formula 3 and Formula 2 Championships, racing against future F1 drivers like Liam Lawson, Logan Sargeant, and Jack Doohan, further proving his ability to compete with the world’s top young talents.
In recent seasons, Williams has focused on GT and endurance racing, achieving significant success in the GT World Challenge Europe. In 2023, he scored his first Gold Cup race win at Brands Hatch and went on to claim the Sprint Cup – Gold Cup championship after a strong final round performance at Zandvoort. The following year, he dominated the 2024 Silver Cup with three class wins, including a double victory at Misano, ultimately securing the Sprint Cup – Silver Cup title with a season clinching performance in Barcelona. Demonstrating both speed and consistency in longer format races, Williams is now aiming for a third championship in 2026, stepping into the Bronze Cup to continue his string of strong performances.
Williams’ seamless transition from single seaters to GT and endurance racing highlights his adaptability and consistency. With multiple class wins and back to back championship titles, he continues to be one of the rising stars to watch as he targets a third triumph this season.
Alongside established names in junior single seaters, Spanish driver Javier Sagrera is emerging as one of Europe’s most promising young talents. At just 20 years old, he has built an impressive résumé across multiple formula categories, showcasing both speed and race craft. He began his single seater career in Spanish F4, quickly establishing himself as a regular podium contender. He made his GB3 debut in 2021 with strong performances, including a podium in his maiden weekend at Brands Hatch, and consistently challenged for top 10 finishes in the championship over subsequent seasons.
In 2023, Sagrera advanced to Eurocup 3, claiming his maiden victory at Spa Francorchamps and adding further podiums at the Red Bull Ring and Portimão. This season, he has stepped up to compete in the remainder of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, demonstrating his ability to adapt to higher levels of racing. Alongside his on track results, Sagrera is recognised for his strong technical feedback and consistency, qualities that have helped him progress steadily through Europe’s formula series.
