2008/2009 Racing Season Dates

Dubai Autodrome has released the 2008/2009 season race dates which include four international events, eight national events and a host of club events. Race fans and competitors are guaranteed an action packed winter with the first event taking place in September 2008 and the final event in April 2009.

The jewels in the crown in the packed calendar are invariably the two Grand Racing events taking place on 4, 5 and 6 December and on 26/27 and 28 February which are headlined by Speedcar Series and GP2 Asia. The December edition will have the added bonus of featuring the FIA GT3 series. Speedcar is sure to be a crowd pleaser and legendary former Formula One stars are likely to line-up against some young up and coming stars in what is poised to be a mouthwatering prospect for race fans. GP2 Asia will feature the young guns of the future battling it out with their sights firmly set on a place on the Formula One grid which these days includes likes of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Timo Glock who graduated through the GP2 ranks.
