FIA to Approve 24Hour Series as International for 2015



24H SERIES powered by Hankook rapidly growing with full international status


– The announcement that the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook is set to become a full international series with championship status, application for which has been filed with the FIA, numerous teams have already expressed their interest to become part of the inaugural season. “Of course, we will stick to our philosophy with a focus on twelve-hour and 24-hour races, mainly aimed at amateur drivers and teams with a wide variety of car brands and models and based on clear regulations with a focus on safety,” says Gerrie Willems on behalf of CREVENTIC. The Dutch agency, in co-operation with the Dutch National Racing Team (DNRT) is the organiser and promoter of the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook. “Of course, semi-professional and professional teams and drivers are welcome, too, but they have to adapt to the 24H SERIES format and have to respecte the amateur drivers on the track.”

The aim of the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook is to offer teams and drivers the opportunity to race at attractive, FIA approved circuits around the world at a comparatively low and affordable budget. In the series, drivers can compete with other drivers from all over the world with a variety of cars: GTs, touring cars and 24H Specials including silhouette cars. “We have filed an application with the FIA to be registered as an FIA International Series at Level 4 ‘Bronze’ status,” Gerrie Willems says. “This means that drivers can already participate with an international D-licence. We have also applied for the possibility to enter with a national EU licence for some events, which will be decided and announced in due course.” Regulations for the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook (subject to approval by the FIA) can already be found at www.24hseries.com.

Various titles at stake

When the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook will be approved as an international series by the FIA in 2015, this also enables the organisers to award points in each round. Next to a drivers’ championship, CREVENTIC will also introduce a unique teams’ classification. This will reflect the teams’ potential, even if they are competing in the various events with different drivers. Moreover, considering the increasing number of female drivers taking part in the races, a special ladies’ cup will also be introduced to award the performances by the lady racers in the field.


As the official title sponsor and exclusive tyre partner, premium tyre manufacturer Hankook will provide tyres for all cars participating in the rounds of the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook. CREVENTIC is also committed to generating plenty of media interest for the races. For instance, broadcast of a highlights TV show is planned after every round. The tenth anniversary edition of the Hankook 24H DUBAI will also have live broadcasting for 24 hours for the first time, including onboard-footage and commentary from the Radio Show Limited team, well-known from Radio Le Mans. Of course, there will also be regular updates, photos, videos and results on the various online channels, such as the dedicated website live.24hseries.com, Facebook (24H Series) and Twitter (24HSeries). More information about the 24H SERIES powered by Hankook can be found at: www.24hseries.com.
