Two high powered race weekends in the UAE next month will set the pace for a third season of spectacular action in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East

After reaching a dramatic climax at Dubai Autodrome last season, the one-make Porsche series returns to the venue for the start of its new campaign, with Rounds 1-2 taking place on 4th-5th November.

There is barely time for the engines to cool down before the Porsche GT3 Cup cars next head for Yas Marina Circuit where the next two rounds form part of the official race support programme for the F1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 12th-13th November.

With the remaining dates in the 2011-12 calendar to be finalised shortly, motor racing fans can look forward to more of the brilliant action which has lit up the 12-round series, sponsored by Michelin and Mobil 1, since it was launched in December 2009.
