Motorsport champions confirmed for Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival

André Lotterer, the three-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and 2012 FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Champion, will be competing at the event. The German-Belgian driver will be competing for Avalanche Andretti in Season 9 of Formula E. For over a decade, he has also competed in the Japanese Super Formula series, winning the title in 2011.

After taking the top step of the podium at last year’s Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival, Oliver Webb will be aiming to retain his title this month. Webb will once again be behind the wheel of an iconic British racing machine, James Hunt’s first grand prix winning car, the Hesketh 308b.

GT FIA World Endurance Drivers' Championship winner, Michael Christensen, will also be taking to the track during the event.

Joining Lotterer, Christensen and Webb, will be Porsche drivers Matt Campbell and Matthieu Jaminet, who will be aiming to build on their recent success in the IMSA GT Pro series. 

Taking to the track at the wheel of the Brabham BT608B at this year’s Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival is Sophia Flörsch. Currently competing in the European Le Mans series, Sophia has two podiums to her name, and will be racing a Formula One car for the first time at the event. 

Another famous name that will be forming part of the grid is Nicolas Prost, former Formula E race winner and World Endurance Championship racer. The son of four-time Formula One World Champion, Alain Prost, Nicolas is currently competing in the Ultimate Cup Series. 

Matthieu Baumel, a four-time Dakar Rally winner, will also be striving for the top step of the podium as he sets his pacenotes aside to get behind the wheel.  

This star-studded line-up of drivers will be bringing the heat to the Dubai Autodrome between 25-27 November, reigniting the flame of motorsport history behind the wheels of iconic Formula One and sports car machinery. 

Fans visiting the Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival will see legendary Formula One cars, such the Williams FW07, Alain Prost’s Ferrari 643 and Michael Schumacher’s Benetton B192. Joining these magnificent racers is one of the most recognisable Le Mans winners, the stunning Porsche 962.
