It was great to hear that Dubai based teams DXB Racing and Duel Racing have decided to head out of Dubai and test their skills against the worlds competition in the Spanish 24-Hours race. The race held at the Circuit de Catalunya is one of the premier events on the calendar and should provide some superb racing for the guys. DXB Racing are flying out their super successful Dubai 24Hrs winning Aston Martin Vantage GT4 and the chaps at Dual Racing have decided to ship their Renault Clio Cup to the race.

“We are delighted and proud to be entering locally prepared cars and resident drivers in a FIA sanctioned European 24-hour event and feel confident that both teams, cars and their drivers will perform at a high level and make the UAE proud” commented Jonathan Simmonds of DXB Racing.

Racing in any 24-hour event places unique pressures on the drivers and vehicles and the teams have the disadvantage of learning a new circuit as the UAE drivers have not previously driven at Catalunya. However, both teams have every reason to be confident of a strong showing in Spain as the cars will be meticulously prepared and will benefit from the same expert and experienced mechanical support as enjoyed by DXB Racing when their Aston Vantage GT4 scored a SP2 class win at this years Dubai 24-hours even held at the Dubai Autodrome.

Nabil Moutran, Team Principle of Duel Racing, is excited to be entering their Clio in this race, which will be a double first for the team. “Our team has not competed in a 24-hour event before, nor have we travelled overseas together as driver line up so this will be a new and invaluable experience for us all. We acknowledge that the local Spanish teams and drivers will be very tough to beat but we are fully prepared and will do our best to secure a good result and use the event as a springboard for an even stronger showing in the next Dubai 24-hour race to be held in January 2010. The opportunity for the team to travel to such a prestigious event is largely thanks to our title sponsor Memac Ogilvy who have been fully supportive of us.”
