2025 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi
The 2025 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi was an endurance sportscar racing event, held between 14 and 16 February 2025 at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was the penultimate and last of six rounds of the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series season.
Entry list
The entry list was published on 11 February 2025 and consists of 47 entries across 3 categories – 10 in LMP2, 7 in LMP3, and 30 in GT.[1]
The LMP2 category featured the same teams and drivers as in the previous round at Dubai.[1] In LMP3, Dan Skočodople returned to the No. 26 Bretton Racing Ligier after missing the previous round. In the GT category, Giacomo Petrobelli replaced Reema Juffali in the No. 19 Blackthorn Aston Martin. Additionally, Earl Bamber Motorsport fielded a second Aston Martin, with the No. 98 driven by Brendon Leitch, Marco Sørensen, and Anderson Tanoto.[2]
On 15 February, Lü Wei was struck with illness, which caused the No. 14 Climax Racing Mercedes-AMG to be withdrawn from the event. This reduced the final field to 29 entries in GT, and 46 entries overall.[3]
