With mere days to go before this year’s 24H SERIES Middle East Trophy begins in Dubai this coming weekend, the organising team at Creventic is delighted to announce an expected entry of more than 50 cars for the forthcoming 6H ABU DHABI at Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, 19 January.
Boasting another diverse entry of quality as well as quantity, with some of the globe’s most exotic car marques, the eagerly awaited event in Abu Dhabi will undoubtedly bring the curtain down on the 2024/2025 Middle East Trophy in style. In the headline GT3 class, which expects around 30 cars for Abu Dhabi, the 2023/2024 Middle East Trophy Champions Manamauri Energy by Ebimotors have confirmed the No.1 badged Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) will be piloted by Italy’s Fabrizio Broggi, Sabino de Castro and Cosimo Papi with Sergiu Nicolae from Romania. Climax Racing from China enters with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO for Mike Zhou, Lu Wei and Zhang Yaqi, while Haupt Racing’s Mercedes-AMG will feature Saudi Arabia’s Reema Juffali – the Middle Eastern nation’s first female racing driver – alongside as-yet unconfirmed team-mates. Germany’s Team Motopark will field Dutch duo Yelmer Buurman and Nigel Schoonderwoerd alongside Hungary’s Levente Revesz in its Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO. More representation of the German marque comes from SMP Racing with ex-Formula One drivers Sergey Sirotkin and Vitaly Petrov, alongside Denis Remenyako and Alexandr Smolyar. HOFOR Racing’s Mercedes will be driven by Switzerland’s Michael Kroll, teaming with husband and wife duo Alexander Prinz and Chantal Prinz, while Winward Racing has so-far confirmed Sergey Stolyarov and Victor Shaytar in its No.16 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO plus Gabriele Piana, Sergei Borisov and Rinat Salikhov in its sister No.87 car. |
