UAE4 Series heads to Dubai Autodrome for Round 3
Round 3 - Dubai Autodrome - Preview
The UAE4 Series continues this weekend for Round 3 of the 2026 winter season, as the championship moves from Abu Dhabi to the Dubai Autodrome for another three-race event.
Following a dramatic second round at Yas Marina Circuit, where mixed weather conditions played a major role, the focus now shifts to the fast and flowing Dubai Autodrome layout. The circuit’s long straights and technical middle sector are expected to provide a contrasting challenge, placing an emphasis on precision, racecraft and consistency across the weekend.
Round 2 saw strong performances throughout the field, with the Hitech and QMMF by Hitech drivers demonstrating resilience and adaptability in difficult conditions. With valuable points on offer once again, the championship battle remains finely balanced as the season approaches its midpoint.
The Dubai Autodrome weekend will follow the standard UAE4 format, featuring two qualifying sessions and three races. As always, Race 2 will utilise a partially reversed grid, offering opportunities for drivers to gain positions and maximise points.
With track conditions expected to be more stable than in Abu Dhabi, teams will be aiming to extract maximum performance from the opening sessions and build momentum through the three races. Consistency across the weekend will be key as the series continues to develop towards the latter stages of the championship.
Dominic Stott, Hitech’s F4 Programmes Team Manager:
“After a successful but challenging weekend at Yas Marina, the focus now turns to Dubai Autodrome, which presents a very different technical challenge. The circuit rewards precision and consistency, and with three races across the weekend, execution will be key. The drivers delivered strong performances in difficult conditions last time out, and the aim this weekend is to build on that momentum and continue progressing across all sessions again.”
Round 3 takes place from 30 January to 1 February, with the two qualifying sessions and Race 1 on Saturday and Races 2 and 3 on Sunday.
