1st endurance event of the yr... I thought there would be more appetite.

Well we'll be there racing our Ginetta G50's... preparation going well so far... 2 of us have busted ribs from karting & the team manager landed on his head racing China superbike the other week....

I'll be going over to watch. Been to the last two and well worth a visit if you're in the UAE. Grid looks pretty healthy.

Probably live streaming only. Last year (doh, this year of course) it wasn't even shown on local channels like Dubai Sports and the other Dubai Channel available nor on any other middle east channel on Hotbird 13° East satelite.
Don't take my word for it but as far as I remember the promoter sold tv rights to an agency which only does reports but no live coverage.
However, I seem to remember that MotorsTV showed a race report several weeks later.

I don't expect live coverage but a 60 minutes report on Motors TV few weeks after the race would be nice.

It's on SBS6. Not live but it should be enough. Sunday at 11:45 is all I know so I'd say watch it the week after.

M. Waltrip is pretty darn tall, can he actually fit in a 430?

The IMSA Porsche with Holzer/Pillet/Narac has got to be favorite.

Track Torque Racing spent a lot of resources developing the car. Not bad for a motorbike team. Good luck to them!

Kudos to all NASCAR drivers trying themselves in road racing but Michael Waltrip is probably the last driver I would want to share a car with.

I can't recall the last Sprint Cup race where the #55 hasn't been spinning or causing some kind of havoc... looking forward to see him crash out on his very first stint.

Yes but one of those NASCAR drivers is Marcus Ambrose, who should be quick considering his back ground in V8 SuperCars.

That was my point-- he is that good that if the car is up to it he will put it thereabouts. As to winning the race-well it is a a Ferrari!
