Successful Season Opener for Mühlner Motorsport in the United Arab Emirates

The 2025 motorsport season kicked off with a strong performance by Mühlner Motorsport at the prestigious CREVENTIC Middle East Trophy in the United Arab Emirates. The team competed in two high-profile events: the 20th edition of the Dubai 24 Hours and the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi, showcasing their prowess and dedication in endurance racing.

Dubai 24 Hours: Determination and Reliability
The Dubai 24 Hours, held from January 10-12, 2025, at the renowned Dubai Autodrome, served as the season opener. Known for its fast straights and challenging technical corners, the track is a true test of endurance.

Mühlner Motorsport, competing with their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (#918), has a strong history in this event, having participated successfully multiple times over the years. After a strong start, the team was on track for a podium finish. However, a mid-race incident dashed hopes of a top result. Despite the setback, the #918 crossed the finish line in 7th place in its class, proving both the reliability of the car and the tenacity of the team.

This result continues a proud legacy for Mühlner Motorsport in Dubai, where they’ve consistently delivered impressive performances since their debut at the event in 2015.

6 Hours of Abu Dhabi: Dominant Victory on a World-Class Circuit
Just a week later, the action moved to the stunning Yas Marina Circuit for the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi. This iconic track, famous for its unique design and vibrant atmosphere, is no stranger to Mühlner Motorsport, which has previously achieved success here.

The team’s H&R Porsche #918 started the race from the front row after a strong qualifying session. Over the six-hour battle, the car dominated the field, leading for much of the race. In the end, Mühlner Motorsport claimed a decisive victory, crossing the finish line with over a minute’s lead – a testament to the team’s preparation, strategy, and driver skill.
