Two events and six races for 2020 TCR Middle East

For the second consecutive year, Creventic will promote the TCR Middle East. The fourth season of the series will consist of two triple-header events on two consecutive weekends at Dubai Autodrome and Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.
The 2020 season will get underway with three races as the official support category of the Hankook 24H Dubai at Dubai Autodrome and will be concluded with another triple-header round at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. At both circuits, the Grand Prix configuration will be used.
As a part of a tie-up with TCR Asia, Creventic also enables participants in the TCR Middle East Series to take part in the TCR Asia round at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, 15 and 16 February. The event will not award points for the TCR Middle East Series.
Participation in the TCR Middle East Series will be open for drivers holding a national UAE licence or an international licence (grade D or C). Each weekend will include an optional private test with 2-3 hours of track time, a 30-minute free practice session, 30 minutes of Qqualifying and three races of 30 minutes each with a standing start. The qualifying result will determine the grid for Race 1 while the top ten from qualifying will be starting in reversed order for Race 2. The classification of Race 1 will be used to determine the grid for Race 3.
In spite of the sprint-race format, teams will be allowed to run up to three drivers per weekend. Points will be awarded for Qualifying and for the positions achieved in each of the three sprint races. A special Junior Cup will be reserved for drivers born in or after 1996.
