Dubai Autodrome hosts an adrenaline packed UAE national race day this weekend, with the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East headlining the bill.
The weekend is supported by the NGK Racing Series, Radical Middle East Cup, Formula Gulf 1000 and UAE Sportbikes championships.
Two UAE teams – Sky Dive Dubai Falcons Racing Team and Al Nabooda Racing – will give local fans something to cheer for in the GT3 series.
The NGK series receives a major entry boost with teams using this round, on the Grand Prix configuration of Dubai Autodrome, as a test session ahead of the Hankook Dubai 24 Hours which takes place at the Autodrome in early January.
Legendary marques such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche and McLaren will be out to claim top honours. Also adding spice to the mix will be the Lechner Racing Bentley Continental GT3
And, with 30 drivers from 12 countries in a field of 16 cars, this weekend’s opening round of the Radical Middle East Cup is set to provide some exciting and close racing. The series features a mix of pro, semi-pro and amateur drivers in a mini-endurance race format.
Some established Radical drivers will be returning to the series this season including last year’s champion Amro Al Hamad.
Also on the bill are two FG1000 races where young talent take on the ‘masters’ in this unique single-seater series, along with two rounds of the UAE Sportbikes Championship where the two wheel brigade slug it out for top honours.
Action starts with Radical qualifying at 09:40 on Friday.
There will be five races for the five different series on the day, with the first race scheduled to start at 13:35 and final race of the day, for GT3 Cup, set to be flagged off at 16:30.
A similar schedule of races will take place on Saturday.
The paddock will be buzzing with a number of family friendly activities, including easy access to team garages where fans can get up close to the cars and bikes, and also be able to interact with drivers, riders and teams.
