Gennep, Netherlands (2 July 2026):
Creventic is proud and excited in equal measure to officially confirm the full calendar for the 2026/2027 Michelin 24H SERIES Middle East Trophy, unveiling a fantastic three-event schedule featuring the newly created YAS 12 HOURS, the cornerstone Michelin 24H DUBAI in its traditional January position and the Michelin 6H ABU DHABI as the season finale.
Underscoring the huge commitment of Creventic to top quality international motorsport within the Gulf region, today’s announcement also confirms the ambition of the Middle East Trophy organisers to deliver the very best events possible for teams, drivers and, very importantly, race fans too.
Beginning with the inaugural YAS 12 HOURS on 12/13 December, the plan is for the non-stop 12-hour race at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit to become a staple of global endurance racing in the years to come. Indeed, Creventic is extremely proud to undertake this notable opportunity and delighted to have the chance to organise the YAS 12 HOURS on a long-term basis every December.
Following the championship opener, the series will move on to Dubai Autodrome for the championship’s flagship twice-round-the-clock Michelin 24H DUBAI. Always one of the most heavily subscribed races in endurance competition, this event will take place across 8/9/10 January.
Drivers and teams will then head back to Yas Marina Circuit for the finale, the annual Michelin 6H ABU DHABI which will take place over 16/17 January. Competitors and fans of Creventic racing will note this means the calendar has reverted to its traditional order – last year, of course, the 6H ABU DHABI came before the 24H DUBAI.
