Angus Fender: 24 Hours Race Dubai 2019

The 2019 Dubai 24 Hours was hosted at the well-regarded and impeccably maintained Dubai International Autodrome, in the centre of Dubai’s fittingly-named “Motor City”. For me, it was my first ever international race and entering the event on the morning of Wednesday 9 January was a hugely exciting, and slightly intimidating prospect.

This year’s Autosport International show was a fantastic showcase of all things motorsport with large displays from Ginetta, Ferrari, Porsche, F1 and WRC. As you would expect, there was plenty of opportunity for a motorsport enthusiast to spend a lot of money, including the chance to race in a wide variety of series’ as well as the recently launched W Series intended for female drivers and the Series Elite aimed at “middle aged” drivers. Cambridge & Counties Bank funded the First Series Elite Jaguar SVO Project 8 car that was officially unveiled at 10am on Thursday 10th January. We were at their stand to offer our support, as well as admire what is a truly beautiful car that is ready for the race series starting later this year.
