The 24H Series Middle East (formerly known as the Middle East Trophy from 2022–2025) is a sports car racing and touring car racing series developed by Creventic and with approval from the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), based in the Middle East.

Creventic

[edit]

The Dutch agency Creventic is the organiser and promoter of the series. Their goals are to organise races with "low costs, a convivial atmosphere with teams and drivers from all over the world and fair competition on the track." In co-operation with the Dutch National Racing Team [nl] (DNRT) – one of the biggest motorsport organisations of the Benelux – they organised the inaugural Dubai 24 Hour in 2006.[1] Creventic is also the organiser of the 24H Series and the Touring Car Endurance Series.

History

[edit]

On 23 September 2022, Creventic announced the formation of the Middle East Trophy, a championship separate from the European leg of the 24H Series, with the first race taking place on 30 November.[2][3] On 23 September 2023, it was announced that the series would return for the 2023–24 season.[4][5] On 18 June 2025, the series announced that it would expand to Southeast Asia with a round at Sepang International Circuit in Sepang, Malaysia, while also changing its name to 24H Series Middle East.[6]
