- As the first female pro go-kart drivers in the UAE, sisters Amna and Hamda Al Qubaisi are breaking barriers, busting myths and beating the boys. Inspired by their father-pro racer Khaled Al Qubaisi-the girls decided to get behind the wheel themselves. Now, at 17 and 15 years old respectively, they’re making history and winning championships.

I give props to that dad for supporting his daughters so much. I'm sure there are people in his country who hate these young ladies for what they're doing and yet they are still being brave and great examples to other men, women and families!
as 'people in his country', no, no one thinks this way. we're all proud of them.
mariam alhosany I’m very glad that you support them. But watch the video again. Their dad even says “they’re breaking down barriers”. Those barriers wouldn’t be there if everyone approved of female racers. It’s good you’re proud of them though. I am too. 👍🏽
Who the fuck are you to talk, we Emiratis give them a fuck ton of rights, never fuck with my country like that without knowing shit
@@you.got.gapped.racing44 it’s ok to be mad man. I’m no one. I live in a different country and I know women have a hard time getting into mens sports here as well. I wasn’t saying anything against the Emirates or it’s people. Just that a man supporting his daughters pursuing their dreams should be supported and honored. It sounds like you’re passionate about your country and people. I wasn’t meaning to offend them. There’s terrible men in every land.

It's really awful and extremely racist to have preconceived notions about certain people just because they're different from you in terms of race, upbringing, or religion. I'm pretty sure that Amna and Hamda don't expect or want praise from someone like you. Typical white person behavior I’m not surprised.
they seem like a very genuine and personable family given their obviously wealthy background. i sense no snobbiness from the girls nor the parents. (usually either of them or the whole family just start getting into their heads when they achieve feats like this). their humbleness will take them a great way and push the boundaries even further
The girls are definitely breaking barriers with their skills, determination and passion for their sport, but I really think the mentality for barrier-breaking started within their family with their wonderfully supportive parents.
Just look at the brand endorsements on their suit and helmets. OMG!!! Some big brands are there.
her dad pay it !! lul
Riza ub 😄😄😄yeah. Might be. After all he is from Dubai.
@@satyajitacharya8798 It's true the father fucking owns the team and lets the emirates race for free. I know that because i have been driving against them for 2 seasons already
Shit I want to do this kinda stuff. They're so badass, absolute admiration for them
dang, the emirati life
Veronica Chang ikr badass
Not all people in emirates, these people r the locals( I live in uae)
the golden phoenix i also live in uae lol
I’m a local
Masha'Allah proud of them. All the best Insha'Allah.
As a Motorsport fan I find this really interesting.
what motorsports you watch?
F1, WRC, and WEC.
I wish them all the best they are really pushing a boundary in that culture.
waleed alkaabi They're rich, so it's ok
They’re not really pushing a “boundary”
not really
sick! hope they get more popular :^) greedings from ger
This is an awesome story, I love it
Anyone here after the fact that the sisters are
A.)Over 20 yrs old
B.)Still maintained their humbleness and determination
C.)Hamda finished P3 in F1 Academy’s first season with Amna in P6 🤯
The sister of my boyfriend just won the ferrari challenge last weekend. She was the first woman to do this and this after just being in that kind of race for a few races (she was Formel 3 before). She got a contract now; ferrari will take her for 3 years and take the costs for racing. This is big, because a ferrari cockpit is millions and all the other stuff surrounding races is expensive, too.
Lovely budding suchmis and hamis wishing you all the very best in life also good to see you both are encouraged by your father.
congratulations to their parents for allowing their daughters to follow their dreams. i don't think it is that easy.
Great video, respect to the girls and their parents. Something kind of unrelated, but why do people always take pictures with the dog filter? I get that it slims your face down so you might think you look better, but these girls are already pretty, the dog filter is really not necessary. Random rant over.
*IT COVERS THEIR NOSE*
A Part That Alot Of People Are not Happy With
dog filter is cute :3
some of just find it cute an fun? its not that serious lool
God bless you girls a new fan on board , amazing parents
This does show the importance of having parents in racing to become successful, especially in karting. I've been racing karts competitively for a few years now, but due to a lack of local tracks and parents not willing to travel to races, I've been unable to achieve much. Don't get my wrong, these are two impressive drivers, but without supportive parents like they have they would be nowhere.
Aidan Johnson yepp... The sister of my bf won the ferrari challenge last weekend. She drove formel 3 before and also kart. But without money or the name, you won't get far. I find it very cool, but considering how much this sport costs, it always leaves you wondering if the ones on the top are really the best ones or if there would be better ones who just didn't have the money or the name
Excellent! Live long and well
wow lucky girls may you enjoy & hopefully see both of you go into the big times god bless you`s
amna is in formula 3 now
I go to that track ever weekend. I’m participating in the endurance race on oct 18th there in a few days
These kids aren't working for what they have there dad gets it for them. to become great at karting you need to work for what you have example I started karting at the age of 15 and I saved all my money and sold my drumkit and my watch that my grandfather gave to me before he died. My dad also was every helpful by puting his money into it all that just to start karting and I have worked very hard and I'm now in the Australian karting championship
1:59 what a beautiful innocent smile
Good luck for all of you in 2019!
Wish you ladies the best! :)
They’re both so pretty and so motivated!!
You are a father.and a good supporter . You are great.
Ok how the hell is their english so good?
They are smart girls with a dad who travels and knows the importance of the English language.
Great parents
I’m surprised this vid doesn’t have as many views as I thought it would have on a channel with 5 mil subs
Meaning of underrated
Respect to this family bro
Very cute
man I wish my mum wld support me in karting bcoy I hv to fight hard just to sign up for tournaments
right on!
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can't see
Naved Ali does that mean that other times you can?!?
well, there must be a problem with your computer. Have you restart it sir ?
Naved Ali dude this isn't a joke,go to your doctor
Miss racing with these 2 ;(
I live in the u.a.e and ive been to the gokarting place
Now they both race professionally in the F1 Academy season.
goals
I hope there is a movie about them sometime. And I hope it’s in Arabic
come to Palm Beach raceway and you will see
Would have been nice to see some racing.
Is it only me or does no one else notice how well they can speak English? They both speak it fluently without any accent... that's seriously impressive for any foreigner.
They get those apexes and exits perfectly
Whatever you do, just make sure you remember you are sisters FIRST!
no one can beat me in gokart but im too fat now ._.
That's easy I can and they can too! I have been racing against them for 2 seasons so yeah just saying might be better
They should try out shifter karts
Cool
Mashallah ma kint adree ina fee hereem yetsabiqoon
I'm jealous they are so rich
Hard work
Now that is a good father.
I didn’t know there was talent to this stuff
Amna really looks like a young Kim Kardashian. Really. Look it up and compare.
Na shes way better looking than Kim fake ass
Where's their burkas
Uhmm this is surprising considering it's UAE,
older sister from different mom 100%
היא נוהגת ממש מהר כתוצאה מכך
They are like takahashi brothers but they're girls
All we need now is a R34 for Hamda(cuz yes,I’m from the future and Amna,her sister,has her R33 GTR)
WTF I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW DUBAI GOT A GO-KART TRACK AND ALL SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Jalebi Milk Dubai has everything trust me
و انا ميلسه ف البيت العب ماريو كارت 🙂
Either one takes a win and the boys get to make excuses to Father. Small steps, but good ones.
Where is her hijab
0:07 correct grammar is My sister and Me
Como Night That’s Wrong Too , It’s My Sister And I
Geo Geo true i thought I heard the verb before it lol
,, الهوايات تهذب الهوى ,,
Mario kart 9 (20XX)

And I'm here like working 12 hours a day just to get a teenie tiny salary
Future faces of Formula One?
They rich lol
I wish CNN hadn't of pulled the plug on this channel.
She looks just like dua lipa? Anybody agree? Just me??
Don pingon
dubai is not he palce to gokart. you need to go to Germany to compete fr to make it to F1
They both race in the Formula One Academy now, so you were clearly wrong.
@@JabberstaxAnd guess what OP comment,Hamda’s P3 with Amna in P6
What are you sayin’ now?
Just Dubai things
Why do they speak with a North American accent?
Many people in the UAE speak english. It is taught in the schools.
와 존나예쁘당
The gulf no brain; of course they will give them racing
$$$
Do poor people even exist in the UAE?😂😂😂 just look at their house.....
This video paid for by UAE. Please contact the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs with any questions or for more information.
Theres a pro league for go kart? I dont get it. Dont we have real cars?
Ilsunny Lo yes so younger adults/teenagers/ and kids as young as 3 maybe even younger can race develop to drive F1 cars same skills and speed
Kareem Colebrooke you're funny if you think a 3 year old can drive a go kart
There are pro sports for air riflery, airsoft, speed walking, video games... anything competitive can be a sport.
They can. That's how young a lot of racers in F1 starts. Look it up. Sebastian Vettel drove his first kart when he was 3 years old.
Go Karting is the closest entry level racing sport to single seater series, especially F1. It is one of the hardest sport to master to in my opinion. I got good at Basketball. I got good at Football. Can't seem to improve in karting.
Anddddd of course every chicks always use the dog filter
Amna looks like Kim kardashian
First
I thought women couldn't drive there
D Squared This doesn't count as driving in any country
D Squared this ain’t Saudi Arabia dumbass
This is the UAE not Saudi Arabia
Lmao the kart isnt even a shifter kart
I really don’t like it when they focus too much on them being the first female to do whatever, the fact that they are both amarati and female is nice but it is cool just to see them be good racers. You can detract from the essence of the event itself by focusing too much on those types of things. All I care about is them being good racers, the rest is all filler.
It's not filler at all. It's the point of the video, breaking boundaries.
Don't discredit their achievements and what they're proud to be.
Miguel Castellanos agreed!!
im a middle eastern woman and no their gender is important! Their breaking their cultural and societal expectations of what women should be like and how they should behave. Females there used too be looked down upon for participating in these kinds of sports.
This is consistent with this channel. They can't just focus on someone being great. They have to focus on someone being great despite [insert something here]. It's not a story about kart racing. It's a story about girls. I skip half their videos because they make it obvious in the title.
Its not that they are just female but it is also their culture. Middles east is still very sexist so its wonderful to see them breaking social boundaries.
I thought it's sacrilege for women/girls to drive a vehicle in that part of the world.
Why is No girl from the midle East good looking?? I live in Dubai half of the time and I never seen a good looking girl
they are good looking lol obviously they are just not your type then
Mami Is On Snapchat where are you on the other half then?
i live in dubai theres loads idk where u been looking
Do the girls in Afghanistan, ISIS, etc get to race go carts? Glad these girls can, but say something about all the other countries that treat women as property. Saudi just letting women drive cars?
+97yawnac
Watches video of Brazilian football star.
"Say something about all the other African countries where people are too poor to buy football shoes."
#Logic
ISIS is not a country, ...
women allowed to drive??
Yes this is UAE not Saudi
still,
j gg yea, why do you ask?
laws continue to discriminate against Emirati women.
Even Saudi women can drive now
Amna looks like Kim kardashian
Alright, I’m screenshotting this 🤣🤣
