Optimum Motorsport return to the 24H Series with Dubai 24H and Abi Dhabi 6H entriesIt’s a case of a welcome return to the CREVENTIC 24H Series for the Inception Racing and Prysm Media backed Optimum Motorsport entry as the British-based squad return to the Hankook 24H Dubai 14-16 January seeking its fourth win in the event since 2012. In addition, the team will compete in the 6H Abu Dhabi 22-23 January.
For the team’s return to the championship, there’s the additional benefit of continuity, fielding team regular drivers Brendan Iribe, Ollie Millroy, Nick Moss and Joe Osborne in the #72 McLaren 720S GT3. As for Optimum Motorsport, the team has a rich history at the Dubai Autodrome, winning the 2012 SP3 class with Joe as one of the drivers, before repeating the result in both 2015 and 2017. The two Pro-Am pairings competed together successfully in 2020 in the International GT Open championship, securing its first overall victory in Barcelona before repeating the feat at Spa Francorchamps. The two sides of the garage, therefore, come together in a 24-Hour event for the first time, very much seeking the top step of the podium.
In addition to the 24H Dubai, the team has opted to travel to Abu Dhabi shortly after the event for the Abu Dhabi 6H. This provides Brendan and Ollie with the perfect opportunity to prepare for the forthcoming Asian Le Mans Series which takes place exclusively at the same venue in February. |
