Faisal Al Sahlawi said: “The Dubai Autodrome holds a rich history as the birthplace of the prestigious
Michelin 24H Dubai race, proudly hosting this global event since its inception. It’s only fitting that
Dubai Autodrome will be celebrating its 20th anniversary during this milestone weekend.

“Over the past 20 years, the event has gone from strength to strength, attracting the best drivers and
teams from the endurance racing world and it will be no different for 2025. We’ve witnessed
unforgettable moments as the world’s best drivers and teams have competed on our track. It’s been
especially inspiring to see Emirati drivers showcase the UAE’s deep talent, signaling a bright future
for motorsport in the country.”

Sahlawi added: “As well as the largest GT3 grid expected which will provide entertaining action, we
have carefully planned plenty of entertainment and activities off the track that adults and children can
enjoy—where the diverse cultures of the teams and people from around the world will be celebrated.”

Since its opening in 2004, Dubai Autodrome has hosted more than 20 international, regional and
local motorsport series including the Asian Le Mans Series, FIA GT, Formula 4 UAE and Formula
Regional Middle East, providing a platform for international and Emirati drivers to gain crucial
knowledge for their development.

Among the UAE drivers to take to the track at Dubai Autodrome include former 24H Dubai winners
Khaled Al Qubaisi and Saeed Al Mehairi, along with promising talents like Rashed Al Dhaheri and Al
Qubaisi sisters, Amna and Hamda.
