It’s a much quieter weekend this time around, Brendon Leitch the sole Kiwi in action as he takes to the track twice in Abu Dhabi.

Things will start picking up again next week but in the mean time we’ve got two enduros to enjoy to ensure we all get our motorsport fix.

  • Where: Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, UAE
  • NZ Times:
    • Qualifying: Saturday 7.35pm
    • Race 1: Saturday 11.30pm
    • Race 2: Monday 12.30am
  • How to watch: Live stream (motorsport.tv)

Brendon Leitch will be back in action for Leipert Motorsport this weekend, competing in the GT class in a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 with  Gabriel Rindone and Lamborghini factory driver Marco Mapelli.

Saturday brings about a sole qualifying session which sets the grid for both races, each of which are 4 hours in length. The event concludes the Asian Le Mans Series which began at Dubai just last week.

Leitch and co battled hard both races after a tricky qualifying session last time out, managing to score a sole point with tenth in class in Race 1 and missing out with 12th in Race 2.

Whilst championship success may be off the table because of this, the Kiwi and his team definitely capable of pulling off big results as they’ve proved in past.
