Continental Racing, a UAE-based team, has achieved a historic victory in the GT4 Class at the renowned Hankook 24H Dubai race, held at the Dubai Autodrome. This triumph, aboard the Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo, marked the first-ever win for a Toyota Supra in the event’s history.
The 2024 Endurance Season had already witnessed Continental Racing’s dominance in the GT4 class during the 6H Abu Dhabi Race on January 20th. However, a setback at a refueling station resulted in a temporary loss of the leading position. The resilient driver lineup, consisting of Emirati talent Ahmed Al Khaja, along with Vasily Vladykin and Andrey Solukovtsev, did not give up.
With determination and unwavering focus, Continental Racing bounced back to secure a stunning victory at the Hankook 24H Dubai Race. Additionally, this victory played a crucial role in the Middle East Trophy standings, as Vasily Vladykin and Andrey Solukovtsev earned the championship with equal points. The winning team for this race included Vasily Vladykin, Andrey Solukovtsev, David Pogosyan, and Mikhail Loboda, which led Continental Racing to an impressive P3 in the Middle East Trophy 2023/2024 GT4 Class.
A representative from the Continental Racing Team expressed their joy, saying, “This triumph at the esteemed GT4 World’s premier endurance event is a momentous milestone for our UAE-based team, especially considering our journey began just over a year ago. Winning the GT4 Class Championship on our home track fills us with immense pride. Our heartfelt gratitude extends to Nordberg, our sponsor, for their unwavering support throughout this endurance season.”
