Night falls. Check out UAE team Lap 57 in their Honda Civic, heading up the big boys.
Sunset over the Autodrome.
It’s not just the cars that fit extra headlights for night racing.
As the night drew in, the boys from Dubai’s Duel Racing developed driveshaft problems that eventually led to their SEAT’s retirement.
There was no let up as the early hours approached, with the pit lane continuously a-hubbub with repairs, driver changes and fuel stops.

Thanks guys – great shots that sum up the atmosphere of the weekend (not sure about Paul trying to snog Richard however…..)!
I was really pleased to still be involved with the sixth running of this event. Two things really stand out for me;
– This year the race really did seem to come of age. It has really taken its place on the world stage and has proved wrong those who doubted it could work nearly seven years ago when two Dutch guys contacted me at the Autodrome with a crazy idea…..
– following on from last year it was so satisfying to see drivers from the UAE national racing scene enjoying participation in the event and doing so well.
Thanks guys – it was a real pleasure for all of us to be part of such a great event!
