Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival Announces Additional Category for Classic Car Enthusiasts

This year’s Gulf Historic Dubai GP Revival will include an all-new category, ‘Dubai Classics’, featuring 30 of Dubai’s most unique classic cars. 

The vehicles, which must be classic-registered, will be displayed in the paddock before participating in a 20-minute open pitlane track session each day of the event’s three days. Participants from the glamorous 1000 Miglia Experience UAE rally can join the Revival, provided they compete in an eligible vehicle, capping an unforgettable week of automotive heaven.

With some genuinely iconic Formula One and sports cars already confirmed for the event, this new category will allow classic enthusiasts to get a close view of some beautiful classic road cars and historic racing cars.

Registration includes entry to all three event days for those with an eligible car. Participants must leave their vehicle on display from Thursday, 7 – Sunday, 10 December, allowing fans to enjoy some of Dubai’s most valuable classic cars.

With just 30 spots available within the exclusive Dubai Classics category, limited space and entry costs AED 1,000 per car, with an additional AED 200 for a passenger (+16 years old). Participants must present a complete file for the vehicle, including car registration documents, a driver’s licence photo and a photo of the car.

These classic cars will form a central element of an immersive race weekend that will offer both old and new motorsport fans a refreshing experience that transports them back to a time of inimitable style and class. The paddock will be a live music festival and would benefit a bustling grand prix paddock of the 1960s, 70s or 80s.

The Dubai Classics category is the perfect opportunity for Gulf Historic participants to experience the best of both worlds, on the road and the track.

Pierre-Brice Mena, Managing Director of GP Extreme, said: “Our event is a true celebration of the golden age of motorsport, encapsulating the most tangible elements of what made it so attractive and alluring. The addition of the Dubai Classics category supports this, giving local classic car owners a unique opportunity to showcase their vehicles to thousands of passionate fans.

“Classic cars continue to intrigue and interest motorsport fans and petrolheads, and the Dubai Classics category will provide fans with an unforgettable opportunity to get close to some wonderfully designed and engineered cars, as well as see them take to the track in a dynamic demonstration run.”
