The United Arab Emirates Procar Championship kicks off Friday at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. Formerly named UAE Touring Car Championship, the series will be run on six events with five stops in Dubai Autodrome, between November 2019 and March 2020, after the opening at Abu Dhabi.
Two CUPRA cars will be racing in the TCR class run jointly by Mouhritsa Racing and Dubai-based Dragon Racing for Costas Papantonis and Alexandros Annivas.
Papantonis is the reigning TCR champion; he had previously taken part in the 2018 TCR Middle East. His teammate Annivas has won the 2018/19 UAE TCC Class 1 title in a SEAT León Super Cópa.
