This 24-hour endurance race was inaugurated in 2006 and is held annually at the Dubai Autodrome. In essence, it is the ability to verify both cars - whether sports or travel, as well as drivers. The race starts at exactly 2p.m on Friday, January 11 and ends 24 hours later at Saturday, January 12. 

The race features both a variety of Grand Tourer (GT), touring cars as well as specially built silhouette cars from a wide range of marques which are eligible to enter. These range from small-engined Super 2000 hatchbacks to racing-bred sport cars. This will be the eighth edition of the 24 Hours of Dubai race in the UAE.

What can fans expect during the race weekend?

The race is open to both professional and semi-professional riders and teams. The race was attended by both local competitors from the United Arab Emirates, the surrounding nations in the Persian Gulf as well as many international teams from Europe, Australia, North and South America. You can look forward to 90 international teams with more than 400 drivers and 2000 crew members.

Fans can watch the race for free with access to the amphitheater and the grandstand and they can look directly into the paddock and see the teams at work.

Also in the paddock will be a variety of activities for children and families with food and beverages throughout.
