Dragon Racing to Make Series Debut With Ferrari 296 GT3

Dragon Racing will make its Asian Le Mans Series debut, fielding a Ferrari 296 GT3 at the upcoming stretch of races held in the United Arab Emirates.

Confirmed as part of a 42-car entry list for the 4 Hours of Dubai issued on Wednesday, Rui Andrade and Nicola Marinangeli will share the cockpit of the No. 98 car with Bronze-rated driver Marco Pulcini.

The event marks a home race for Dragon Racing, which is based at the Dubai Autodrome. It will compete at the circuit on back-to-back weekends, as it is also entered in this weekend’s Hankook 24H Dubai.

The prototype ranks for the event also grow due to the addition of second LMP2 entries from Cool Racing and Nielsen Racing, while the LMP3 class has seen the addition of a fifth Ligier JS P320 Nissan for Australian outfit GG Classic Cars.

Bronze-rated driver George Nakas, co-founder of the luxury car dealership that gives the team its name, will share the No. 58 car with Fraser Ross.

GT3 racers Jordan Love and Laurin Heinrich will meanwhile both make their series debuts as Triple Eight and Herberth Motorsport tweak their respective lineups.

Love will step in to replace Broc Feeney and pilot the No. 88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo alongside Prince Jefri Ibrahim and Luca Stolz, while Heinrich replaces Matteo Cairoli aboard the No. 33 Porsche 911 GT3 R as the Italian has left Porsche to join the Lamborghini factory roster.
