"With our new base in Dubai we can now offer full year-round racing and on-track services." - Benji Hetherington

Valluga have been out in the UAE providing racing, track and test day services for our clients for the past few weeks expanding our offering from European to International.

We have recently raced in the 24h Series Abu Dhabi 6h on the 21st-22nd January and NGK UAE Procar Championship on the 28th-29th January at both Yas Marina Circuit and Dubai Autodrome.

We are set to race in the next round of the NGK UAE Procar Championship at Dubai Autodrome this month on the 24th and 25th.

When speaking to the CEO of Valluga Benji Hetherington he said, "A really productive fortnight in the UAE for Valluga. Both the team and drivers were tackling the Abu Dhabi 6 Hours for the first time and so a real collaborative effort meant we came home 20 seconds short of the podium despite running a strategically damaging 4 driver crew versus our competitors running 2 driver crews. The extra pitstops required to make that work where overcome by some faultless stints by all four drivers and to be disappointed to miss the podium shows how far everything came from the first laps earlier in the week. The cars ran faultless for all testing and racing. A real testimony to our staff and our process and procedures.

Wanting to make the most of some winter sun we entered two GT4 Caymans in the Dubai Pro Car Championship the following weekend. Another great weekend for team and drivers - a track we had been at before as well as the drivers so less learning to do and straight to business.

Up against some high-quality machinery, both drivers performed well, coached expertly throughout to another set of solid results - again though - just off the podium!

The trip did provide me with some much-needed time to follow up on the final parts of setting up our Dubai-based operation. Over the last few months, we have been working internally to set up a satellite base in Dubai and thankfully everything is finally in place.

​The drive for this expansion has been the growing amount of on-track opportunities and also races available through the months November-March in the UAE. Typically a time when UK-based racing comes to a halt - with our new base in Dubai we can now offer full year-round racing and on-track services whilst utilising customer cars as well as our own hire fleet. A move I am really proud to offer going forward."

Keep up to date on the latest in the UAE including track days and racing on our social media channels.
