After an eventful first hour of racing, the positions solidified during the second hour of the 4 Hours of Dubai. The British team Nielsen Racing has firmly established itself at the top of the standings with its Oreca 07 led by Matt Bell. The first pursuer, Sébastien Page for Graff Racing, is now one lap behind the lead. Third position overall is occupied by DKR Engineering, also at the head of the LM P3 category. Here again, the Luxembourg team is firmly established in this position, the Ligier JS P320-Nissan from Nielsen Racing having come out 14 laps after its mechanical problems.

The fight is closer in GT, but still dominated by Rinaldi Racing. Starting in pole position, the McLaren 720S GT3 n°7 d’Inception Racing est remontée au deuxième rang de la catégorie devant l’AF Corse n°17 de Louis Prette. En plus de la Kessel Racing non-partante, une autre voiture est pour l’instant hors course : la Porsche 911 GT3 R de Saalocin by Kox Racing, qui n’a parcouru que 7 petits tours de l’Autodrome de Dubaï avant de rentrer dans son box où la voiture est toujours stoppée alors que la nuit est désormais tombée sur le circuit.
