Two promising qualifying sessions for SX Team Schubert and Racingdivas Team Schubert have given the team the confidence it needed to tackle the Dubai 24 Hour race aiming for victory.
SX Team Schubert, competing in the highest-ranked A6 category, qualified in fifth position among 23 other teams in the same class; the #76 BMW Z4 GT3 lapped Dubai Autodrome in 1:58.285 and will start Friday’s race from the third row alongside Ram Racing’s #30 Ferrari 458 Italia.
Paul Dalla Lana (CAN), Bill Auberlen (USA), Dane Cameron (USA), Dirk Werner (GER) and Claudia Hürtgen (GER) will share the Z4 GT3 and an overall win is the team’s target for the weekend.
On the other hand, the Racingdivas managed a solid third place in the A3T class, and 55th overall, on the #90 BMW 320D. The pink car will be aiming for a class victory in the tough 24-hour race.
Racingdivas Team Schubert’s all-dutch and all-female driver line-up consists of Natasja Smit – Sø, Gaby Uljee, Sandra van der Sloot, Paulien Zwart, and Shirley van der Lof.
The Dubai 24-Hour race kicks off tomorrow at 2:00 PM and ends the same hour on Saturday; a warm-up session will take place beforehand on Friday morning.
