Ahmed Al-Fardan is a Bahraini former rally driver who has competed in national and regional rallying championships in the Middle East.[1] He is best known for his participation in the Bahrain National Rally Championship and events organised under the Bahrain Motor Federation (BMF).[2] He is the father of Hamad Al Fardan, the first Bahraini to drive at GP2 series level.[3][4]
Al Fardan's active racing years coincided with the growth of international motorsport across the Middle East. He was a regular participant in regional events such as the Bahrain International Rally and other rounds of the FIA Middle East Rally Championship. His experience in the desert-based rallying circuits of the Gulf helped establish Bahrain's presence in the regional motorsport community long before the country hosted its first Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2004.[5]
