Fastest TCR and Clio Cup Marks Set in Abu Dhabi

Dubai, UAE, 21 February 2021: The intrepid NGK UAE ProCar contingent travelled to Abu Dhabi over the weekend (18-20 February) to contest the fourth round of the championship and managed to topple track records for TCR and Renault Clio Cup Classes.

The Dragon Racing Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo (#14), at the hands of Paul Sebright, dominated both NGK UAE ProCar races on the Grand Prix configuration at Yas Marina Circuit, taking overall and Ferrari Challenge Class victories.

Alexandros Annivas (#9) of Mouhritsa Racing pushed his TCR Cupra Leon to the limit chasing Ferraris, which earned the Greek driver third-place and second-place overall trophies, top honours in TCR Class for both races and a new TCR lap-record (2:23.992) on the Grand Prix Circuit during qualifying.
