2012 Endurance Championship 12 & 24 Hours at the Kartdrome
Posted
2012 Motorcity Endurance Challenge at the Kartdrome information
The Kartdrome Endurance Challenge, run since 2004, is a mainstay of the UAE motorsport calendar. The event has been dubbed as “extreme racing” – as tough as it gets and requires stamina, concentration, speed, consistency and probably most importantly team work – all this under the duress of hard fought competition over a 24 or 12 hour period. At the end there will be a winning team, but in truth competing with enthusiasm and completing the event is a victory in itself.
The objective is to provide new challenges to teams and create a competitive environment for teams to race at the highest level. The emphasis is on attracting a mix of pro, semi-pro and corporate teams to the series.
