Black Falcon declared winner of the 24 Hours of Dubai

It will therefore be the rain which will have partly offered victory to the Mercedes-AMG GT3 n°4 – Team Black Falcon of Ben Barker – Jeroen Bleekemolen – Khaled Al Qubaisi – Manuel Metzger – Hubert Haupt at the 24 Dubai 2020 Hours.

The German car and its crew had been leading the race for quite some time when the organizers initially neutralized the race under a red flag after 7 hours and 17 minutes of running due to the violent rain that fell on the track.

Red flag became permanent a few hours later, effectively sealing the victory for the German team and its quintet.

That's a WIN here at the Dubai24hrs! Race cut short due to bad weather, I can vouch for the bad weather! Thanks @TeamBlackFalcon for a great car. Enjoyed the event thoroughly pic.twitter.com/i7ZX4DPnDp
