Amna Al Qubaisi will make her endurance racing debut at next month’s 24H Dubai, as part of Rossa Racing’s GTX-category line-up.
The 25-year-old will pilot the UAE-based team’s #797 Rossa LM GT at the event, alongside multi-time LMP2 champion (and Rossa founder) Roman Rusinov, Evgeny Kireev and Ismaiel Ahmedknodjaev.
The Rossa LM GT made its global racing debut at this year’s 24H Dubai, with Rusinov and Kireev forming part of the driver line-up. The V10-powered machine, which was fielded by Graff Racing, was an early retirement. The car has seen significant development, with more to come.
F1 Academy race winner Al Qubaisi made her sportscar debut in this year’s Ligier European Series, where she scored multiple podium finishes for Team Virage alongside her younger sister Hamda. The pair’s father Khaled, who finished on the LMGTE Am podium at the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, is known to harbour ambitions to compete as a family in the future.
“I am very happy to compete in the 24H DUBAI driving the beautiful Rossa LM GT,” Amna Al Qubaisi commented.
“This car is not only stunning but also incredibly fast and a true pleasure to drive. It is a great honor for me to race a 24-hour event in my home country. In 2026, the 24H DUBAI will be held for the 21st time. Over the years, this race has become a landmark event not only for the UAE, but for the entire world of motorsport, traditionally opening the international racing season.”
Rossa Racing forms part of what is currently a five-car GTX entry for the 24H Dubai, where the team will face opposition, including the 24-hour race debut of the Ginetta G56 GT2.
2026 is set to be a major year for the Rossa brand, with it also entering an ORECA 07 – Gibson into the LMP2 Pro/Am class of the European Le Mans Series in association with Team Virage.
The Michelin 24H DUBAI 2026, the final round of the 24H Series Middle Eastern Trophy, will take place on 16th to 18th January 2026.
