KC Motorgroup Ltd. (KCMG) is all set to take on the 24H DUBAI this weekend, in an event that marks Paul Ip\u2019s return to racing after two years away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ip will be joined by regular teammates Marchy Lee, Ho-Pin Tung and Andy Yan in the #108 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO \u201cB-Spec\u201d in the TCE-TC category.<\/p>\n

Since his last race outing at Okayama International Circuit in GT World Challenge Asia back in 2023, Ip has been tackling a different kind of adventure, flying across the world in 90 days from Alaska to Greece. Aboard his Cirrus SR22T, Ip visited 34 countries and 72 cities, with the documentary series of the trip being uploaded to YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

KCMG has twice competed in the 24H DUBAI, most recently in 2020, when Ip and Yan took a top-10 finish in class in a race which was cut short due to heavy rain. Opened in 2004, the Dubai Autodrome measures 5.39-kilometres and features 17 turns.<\/p>\n

Qualifying takes place from 15:55 GST (UTC+4) on Friday afternoon, with the twice-round-the-clock race set to get underway at 13:00 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

PAUL IP<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>KCMG OWNER<\/h4>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great pleasure to be back on track after my adventure in the Cirrus SR22T from Alaska to Greece last summer. I flew over both Le Mans and the N\u00fcrburgring and now, alongside my friends, we will race in Dubai. I\u2019m excited to finally drive the Toyota Supra GT4 Evo in the TC class, and I look forward to a lot of fun and hopefully a smooth race weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

HO-PIN TUNG<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to be back with KCMG for my first 24H DUBAI, re-uniting with Paul, Marchy and Andy to share the #108 car. The car is really fun to drive and I\u2019m looking forward to an exciting race weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

MARCHY LEE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be joining Paul and KCMG in Dubai this weekend. It\u2019s like returning to family! I can\u2019t wait to be out on track and will give my best for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

ANDY YAN<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been dreaming of getting back on track alongside Paul and my team-mates for a long time, so I\u2019m very excited. It doesn\u2019t feel too long since we raced together before, and I\u2019m ready for the challenge of the 24H DUBAI.\u201d<\/p>\n

MATT HOWSON <\/strong>TEAM MANAGER<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe KCMG team is delighted to have its founder Paul Ip back racing at the 24H DUBAI, with long term team-mates Marchy Lee, Andy Yan and former KCMG Le Mans driver Ho-Pin Tung. The GR Supra GT4 Evo B spec will be new to them all but provides a great platform in the TC class to have a competitive and enjoyable event, and the whole KCMG crew will give their maximum to secure a strong result at this highly challenging event!\u201d<\/p>\n
