The 24 Hours of Dubai was held this weekend.
One Audi was on the entry list and competed in the ninth edition of the
event.
The Audi was entered by Red Camel Racing, a regular entrant in the 24H Series.
It is one of the two privately built Creventic Audi R8 V8 race cars, which are also
known as “CR-8”. These Audis were built by
The #150 Red Camel - Jordans.nl entry
was driven by Yusif Bassil, Jonathan Venter, Keith Kassulke and Maurice Faber. The Audi R8 was entered in the SP3 class, which is intended for GT4 equivalent cars.
They showed good pace during practice and qualified forty-fifth overall on the grid, second in the SP3 class.
It was
a long hard race, but the Red Camel Audi entry ran well within SP3 and also moved forward through the field. By the end of the 2014 24 Hours of Dubai the #150 Audi squad came trough to finish twenty-sixth overall, taking third position in the SP3 class.
