AMNA AL QUBAISI Commands GTX Class in Stunning Dubai 24 Hours Debut

January 20, 2026

• AMNA AL QUBAISI delivered a masterclass debut at the Dubai 24 Hours, spending significant time leading the GTX class in her very first 24-hour race. The Emirati driver, following in her father’s legendary footsteps at this event, immediately looked at home in the Rossa Racing LM GT, consistently running in the 2:03s and smoothly building confidence as daylight faded into night.
• Rossa Racing ran a front-running campaign for most of the 24 hours, with AL QUBAISI playing a crucial role in keeping the team firmly in podium contention. Her stint management was particularly impressive – she navigated multiple Code 60 periods cleanly, recovered from a puncture-induced spin, and maintained third place with a comfortable five-lap cushion over their nearest competitor.
• The heartbreaking finale came when teammate Roman Rusinov was caught in a multi-car incident that destroyed their Rossa LM GT just hours from a potential podium finish. While the DNF stings, AL QUBAISI’s performance stands as one of the race’s defining stories – proving her rapid adaptation to endurance racing after her successful transition from single-seaters through the Ligier European Series.
