NGK RACING SERIES REPORT 
The first National Race Meeting of the new 2016-2017 UAE motorsport season took place at Yas Marina Circuit on October 28th and 29th. Gregory Pain survived an epic battle to secure second position overall and first in class in the opening TRD Toyota GT86 race. Tani Hanna took a brace of class victories in a Dragon Racing Ferrari 458 Challenge+ and Bill Martin secured more silverware for the team with two outstanding drives in his brand new Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
Both rounds of the NGK National Series were won outright by the new Ferrari 488 GT3. Race one took place in the heat of the afternoon and was won by Dragon Chairman, Leon Price. Rob Barff then took the wheel for the night race and took a comfortable victory under the floodlights.
DRAGON F4 UPDATE
The Dragon F4 team made its debut on the 26th October at the Yas Marina GP circuit. Following a thorough pre-season preparation & rebuild the cars, as mentioned previously, were shaken down by 2016 Indy Lights Champion and UAE resident Ed Jones. 

Both cars ran without issue for the evening and the team soon switched focus to enhance the performance of the cars, with Ed soon getting to grips with the car and posting a time that was never beaten for the remainder of the race weekend. 

Local Champion Jones was very complimentary of the Dragon F4 setup and Ed will be a familiar face in our garage for the remainder of the season.
The UAE F4 series kicks off at Dubai Autodrome on 16th November with an anticipated grid of 12 cars. The series offers almost 9 hours of track time per race weekend and is the ideal platform for drivers from around the globe to develop their race craft and driving ability with ideal weather. 

Dragon F4 has seats available for the 5 Championship rounds of the UAE F4 series, if you wish to understand more please contact Team Principle Brad Fincham by clicking the button below.
