Fach Auto Tech: showdown in Dubai 🎥

The company has been successful at the Dubai Autodrome several times in the past. In 2023, the specialist team won the 992 Cup class and also took second place. In 2018, it took class victory in the 991 Pro class. The team from Sattel now wants to continue this success story with two strong driver pairings.

Michael Hinderer, Marc Devis, Yves Scemama, Christian Traber and Nico Verdonck will take the wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup #961 entered in the 992-AM class. The sister car #962 in the 992 category will be driven by Paul Meijer, Jop Rappange, Ralph Poppelaars and Huub van Eijndhoven.

Postponement of the race

There are logistical reasons why the start of the season will not take place until the end of January instead of mid-January as usual. Due to the problems around the Bab el-Mandeb strait, the vehicles and team equipment did not reach Dubai in time, making a postponement of the event unavoidable.

Team Principal Alex Fach: "The race in Dubai traditionally opens the season for us. This time, however, the preparation was anything but easy, as the postponement threw a few things into disarray. Now we are all the more pleased to finally get started."

Friday first official session

The Starting signal for the long-distance race will take place on Saturday, January 27, at 1 p.m. local time, i.e. at 10 a.m. in Central Europe. The track action starts a day earlier. The first official session is scheduled for Friday with free practice at 10 a.m. local time (7 a.m. CET). All the action can be followed via livestream and live timing.

Alex Fach: "We have put together a strong line-up again this year to start the season with a success. Last year, we were able to celebrate a really strong result with the one-two victory, and of course we want to build on that."
