As the start was about to be given, the wind deposited sand and dust on the track which forced the teams to be very careful, as grip had become very limited.<\/p>\n<p>Mathieu DETRY started from the second row but unfortunately could not take advantage of the withdrawal of the #63 Lamborghini supposed to start from 2nd place. He still managed to position himself in P2 following an inconclusive start of the #18 (Pro\/Am).

It was during the 2nd Code 60 a few laps later that Stanislav MINSKI took his turn. Torsten KRATZ would also have to maintain his concentration for more than an hour at 60 km\/h during his stint. While the first 3 hours have passed, the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo is in 3rd place in its category in a battle with a Porsche (#17) and a Mercedes (#85) and took 1st place, after 76 rounds. The Finnish Miika PANU recovers the #21 at the head of the GT3Am while the 4th hour has just ended. He was closely followed by the #85, but maintained his position until nightfall, even completing a good number of laps at the head of the general classification during his 39 laps. Torsten returns to the track and after 142 laps of the Dubai circuit, the Audi #21 is once again at the head of its category, a position that the German maintains for a few laps before handing over the wheel to the Finn. After 7 hours they are still in front and the fight for the best place on the GT3Am podium begins to be felt with the #85 Mercedes and #50 Porsche and later the #14 BMW and the #26 Audi R8. Mathieu, then Thomas and finally Torsten take turns during the following hours, maintaining the \u201cPodium GT3Am\u201d course.<\/p>\n<p>Halfway through the race after 297 laps, the #21 Audi is still on the provisional GT3Am podium. During the night, when Thomas KIEFER had just overtaken a Porsche competitor (#921), he was hit and the team had to replace the left rear suspension triangle. In the early morning the circuit was also the scene of a nice downpour&#8230; But this posed no problem for the Finnish driver then on the track. I&#8217;m used to sliding, at home it&#8217;s like that all the time \u00bb he said, smiling at the end of his relay. After 21 hours of racing, the Antigua team is still in battle to maintain its position on the coveted podium, the fight will be tough until the last moments with the #14 Century Motorsport BMW M4 GT3, the #50 Porsche of Huber Motorsport and the #26 Audi R8 of the Sainteloc Junior team. With 2:30 to go, the team put on slick tires and the humidity in the air kept the dust and sand on the ground, providing a perfectly acceptable track for the competitors. Miika the Finn completes a double stint in 2nd position in the category before handing over to Thomas KIEFER who will lead the car to the checkered flag. But what a relay!! Close behind Matt\u00e9o Merafina (Am+ driver) at the wheel of the #26 Audi, he suffered from incredible pressure. The most important thing now is to finish the race without being impressed&#8230; The HAAS Racing Audi R8 is 2nd GT3 Am and P7 in the general classification until 12 minutes from the end, but on the 589th lap the #26 takes the advantage to complete the last six loops of the 24 Hours of Dubai. HAAS Racing therefore finished on the 3rd step of the GT3Am podium and in 8th place in the general classification. 36 cars finished the event, we had to be part of it, it&#8217;s done and it&#8217;s a rather honorable result. Sandrine HAAS : \u201c It was a hectic race, punctuated by Code 60s, which is not always very pleasant.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2191363901\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"1000436969\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1000436969.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1000436969.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1000436969.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1000436969.jpg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1000436969.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The sand, the rain, the pressure&#8230; all the ingredients were there for a great race and I am proud of our team and our five drivers who knew how to maintain and preserve the car during these last 24 hours.
