Porcshe GT3 back for 10th season

The Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East returns for its 10th season from November to March with three additional races.
The six-round, 15-race series, up from 12 races last year, will start in Dubai Autodrome, November 16-17.

It then heads to Bahrain, November 30 to December 1; Dubai, December 25-26; Abu Dhabi, February 1-2; and Bahrain again for the last two rounds, March 8-9 and March 30-31. The usual two-race rounds have been upped to three races in rounds one, three and five.
Series manager Walter Lechner said: “Looking back over a decade at more than 100 races and 120 drivers, I am both proud and excited about what we’ve achieved and the opportunities ahead of us.
“The set-up of the series allows young, local talent to learn from and compete against international and veteran racers. This formula has helped us grow into one of the best motorsport series offered in the region and the only one racing in more than one country. I’m very proud of the success the team and the drivers have seen here in the Middle East and on European tarmac.
“We welcome all racing enthusiasts from the region to contact us regardless of their experience, as we can provide guidance and coaching if and when required. The Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East really is the pinnacle of racing in the Gulf and a breeding ground for regional talent who go on to compete at international level.”
