Saint-Georges de Commiers, on February 11, 2026
The second and third rounds of the Asian Le Mans Series took place over the past two weeks in the United Arab Emirates, first at the Dubaï circuit on January 31 and February 1, and then at Abu Dhabi on February 7 and 8.
During the collective tests, the trio of drivers Nick Adcock, Lucas Fecury, and Luciano Morano got familiar with the #29 car on the Dubai circuit, which is particularly challenging due to its sandy conditions.
In qualifying, the crew qualified in 6th position for the Saturday race, and in 5th position for the Sunday race, giving them a solid starting point for the two events of the weekend.

Race 1
Race 1After a smooth start and thanks to a strong pace and well-managed strategy, Nick Adcock made a great recovery before handing over to Lucas Fecury, allowing the car to reach 3rd position at mid-race. Half an hour later, the #29 took the lead in its category.
With forty minutes remaining until the finish, a virtual safety car was deployed, bunching up the field and completely relaunching the race. At the restart, a twenty-minute final sprint began until the checkered flag.
An intense battle then took place between Luciano Morano and Inter Europol Competition, with the race lead changing several times over the last two laps, keeping the team on edge. Car #29 ultimately crossed the finish line in second position, demonstrating clear potential to fight at the front.
Race 2
The #29 started from 5th position on the grid. The race was marked by several safety car interventions, which disrupted the running order. After two hours of racing, the crew was in 3rd place, fully aware of their ability to fight for the win.
In the final stint, Luciano Morano fought intensely with CLX Motorsport. Both cars were eventually overtaken by 23Events Racing, allowing the #29 to settle in second position, which it held until the checkered flag.

The Asian Le Mans Series has now come to an end. This first international experience represented a true technical and human challenge for the team. While the championship ends with a slight sense of unfinished business, it also leaves behind a valuable experience, full of memorable moments, laughter, four podiums, and intense battles on track. A huge thank you to the entire staff, the drivers, our partners, and everyone who supports the team, both near and far. We continue to build the history of VPS Racing. Now it’s time to focus on the 2026 season, which is coming very soon.
