As the initiators of the Hankook 24H DUBAI, the original endurance race in the Gulf region, Dutch agency CREVENTIC has unparalleled experience in organising and promoting endurance races in the Middle East.

The meetings will be held together with rounds of the 2019 TCR Middle East Series, also organised by CREVENTIC.
