Speedhunters have recently put up a few posts talking about their recent venture out with the NFS track team to participate in the Dubai 24 hours and some of the photography is so amazingly stunning it is impossible not to share it.
The Dubai 24 hour is a relatively new event held at the Dubai Autodrome and started in 2006 and is for both sports and touring cars. The race is open to professional and semi-pro teams and isn’t an invitation event like Le Mans so this means you could get some real wildcard entries competing.
This year the Need for Speed team won the event in their BMW Z4 GT3. The past winners have been two other BMW’s in 2006 (M3 CSL) and 2007 (Z4 Coupe) and three Porsche 997′s in ’08, ’09 and ’10.
The race is held every year in the middle of January (this year 12-13-14th) so this might be a good time to go and book your holiday for next year now, Etihad do flights from London to Dubai and they also sponsor the Formula 1 so they love racing and might be able to do a deal or sort something out. The official race site also has a travel section that will show the best way to see the event.
This is now on my list of must see events, my list is rather long now though…
Anyway enough of my yabbering you just want to see pictures don’t you?
