Optimum Motorsport are set to field a two-car entry in the Intercontinental GT Challenge’s season finale, Gulf 12 Hours at the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi next month.
The teams’ newest addition to their fleet, the #4 McLaren GT3 which has recently raced in the final round of GT Open and the FIA Motorsport Games, has also had its entry confirmed for the Abu Dhabi enduro alongside Optimum Motorsport-run Inception Racing.
The event embraces both day and night racing with floodlights complementing the Yas Marina Circuit setting.
With over eight hours of testing and practice before Saturday evening’s qualifying, where each of the four drivers contest in a 15-minutes session each with the average time determining the starting grid order, there’s plenty of track running before lights out 10am EST on Sunday 11 December.
The team are no strangers to the track, with Inception Racing claiming their 2022 Asian Le Mans Series GT Championship there earlier on this year.
Interested parties in joining the effort should contact Shaun Goff via email: sgoff@optimum-motorsport.com for more information.
Shaun Goff, Optimum Motorsport Team Principal, “It’s great that we’ve got the two entries confirmed for Gulf 12 Hours. We’ve had great success at Yas Marina Circuit across the years, more recently earlier on in the season where the team claimed their Asian Le Mans title.
“We’ve seat availability in our second car entry, my new McLaren 720S. It’s had time out on-track in Europe, competing in GT Open and the FIA Motorsport Games and now we’re looking to complete the driver line-up for it to have it’s first taste out on-track in the Middle East.”
