No encore for Valentino Rossi at the 24 Hours of Dubai: the driver from Tavullia, who in 2023 had won the podium at the wheel of the BMW together with his teammates, will not take part in the next edition of the race after the WRT team announced to withdraw from the competition.

The Dubai 24 Hours, originally scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 12-14, è has been postponed by two weeks due to the acute crisis in the Middle East and delays to transports caused by Houthi rebel attacks in the Red Sea. The race è been postponed Jan. 26-28, to coincide with the 24 Hours of Daytona.

This is the statement from the WRT team: "Due to the postponement of the event date, the WRT team has withdrawn its two BMW M4 GT3s from the Emirates race. Not risking delays for equipment, the team will be able to stick to its original preparation schedule for the remainder of the 2024" season, è the note reported by Gpone.
