Saudi driver Reema Juffali prepares for first full GT3 season

Saudi Arabia's female racing star Reema Juffali is all set for her first full season in a GT3 series as she lines up for this weekend’s International GT Open Championship in Portugal.

Last season, Juffali made her debut in the British F3 Championship where she competed in seven of the eight rounds - 21 races in total - which included her best-ever finish of fourth position.
