Nearly two dozen racers tested their mettle this weekend at the Losail International Circuit during their last practice runs ahead of the season opener later this month.

There were a few crashes, but this didn’t deter speedsters from pushing their limits around the track over the past three days.

Spanish motorcycle road racer Jorge Lorenzo dominated the test runs, finishing half-a-second ahead of the next competitor yesterday.

The season opens with the Grand Prix of Qatar at Losail on March 17.
