4PROS test day

Dubai Autodrome

Motor City, Dubai · 5.39 km · 16 corners · January 2027

Testing during the winter break

Dry kilometres while Europe is closed.

The Dubai Autodrome in Motor City opened in 2004 and has been a fixture of international motorsport ever since. Every January it hosts the Dubai 24 Hour, one of the first major GT races of the season.

The Grand Prix layout measures 5.39 kilometres with 16 corners: long straights, heavy braking zones and a technical middle section. Add a wide pit lane and stable, dry conditions at a time of year when European circuits are closed. For GT and LMP teams, it is the ideal place to rack up kilometres again after the winter break.

4PROS in cooperation with PARAGRAPH5

Two tests in the Gulf, one trip.

4PROS is our test format for race teams, run together with PARAGRAPH5. We hire the circuit exclusively, keep the field small and take the organisation off your hands. At the Dubai Autodrome we run on 11 and 12 January 2027, followed one week later by the test at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Book both and you only ship your equipment to the Gulf once.

You run when your programme calls for it. No sessions, no waiting for the next slot.
A maximum of 24 cars
Small fields, clear laps and plenty of room for long runs, qualifying simulations and driver changes.
GT and LMP only
GT2, GT3, GT4, GTE, one-make cups and LMP2 to LMP4. Formula cars run at our formula test days.
Timing with sector times
Professional timing is included; a data stream for your engineers can be booked.
