As organizers gear up for the fifth round of the Batelco 2000CC Challenge, the pit garages have been buzzing with word that defending champion Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa will be making a comeback to participate in the upcoming round, due on February 6.
 
Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa was seen stealing the title last season with a milestone victory, ahead of arch-rival Mustafa Al Khan, and has been seen making appearances throughout the season to monitor the competition which may lie ahead. The defending champion was rumoured to have said that he cannot watch from the sidelines and may have to get involved in the remainder of the season. With his huge passion for motorsports, and the excitement that the increase in drivers and cars on track could bring, this season could see more thrill than ever anticipated.
 
However, he will face fierce competition from Al Khan and newcomer, Shaikh Jaber bin Ali Al Khalifa, having not participated in the last four rounds and not scored any points.
 
The fifth round looks set to see a phenomenal 17 drivers line up the grid on February 6 for an unforgettable battle for top position. The grid may even see an additional car, marked with the number “1”, on the grid should Shaikh Salman decided to race.
 
It is yet to be seen what car he will be making his appearance in.
