Going into round eight off the back of a double success in Friday's encounter, winning both GCC rookie and the silver class, the 18 year old experienced a less straightforward encounter on Saturday, but showed tenacity and skill.
Qualifying seventh fastest overall for round eight, securing GCC rookie pole position and second in the silver class, the first-year Porsche competitor battled through to a top-five overall finish, victory in GCC rookie and second position in the silver class.
In terms of the championship battles, with two race meetings still to run in Bahrain over the next couple of months, Al Faisal has moved into the top four of the overall standings and continues to lead the GCC rookie fight as well as the silver class.
'I'm happy to have won the GCC rookie class again and position five overall, from seventh on the grid, was a pretty good result,' said the Omani racer.
'Our pace was good again this weekend in Abu Dhabi and while I would have liked to have been a bit higher up the order in both races, it's been another positive event for me and means we're still in a strong position in the championships.'
'The race wasn't as straightforward as I hoped, but I'm satisfied with the result,' said Al Faisal, who bagged a total of 131 points.
'In qualifying, things didn't go fully to plan, and the battle with Wolfgang [Triller] meant the guys in front managed to get away from us. But I'm confident that I can be back closer to the overall podium battle when we return to Bahrain next month. That's what I'll be working towards.'
There is now a four-week break in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East calendar with rounds nine and ten taking place, respectively, at the Bahrain International Circuit.
