The Gulf 12 Hours is a 12-hour annual GT endurance racing event that takes place on a combination of the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It has been held since 2013. The 2020 event has been moved to Bahrain and been rescheduled to the second weekend of January 2021.
Gulf 12 Hours January 2021 Edition relocates to Bahrain

The Gulf 12 Hours will relocate from Abu Dhabi to Bahrain in January 2021 for a special appearance.

The race renamed the ‘Gulf 12 Hours Bahrain’ will take place on the scheduled date of 9 January 2021.

The celebration of the 10th edition of the traditional Abu Dhabi race will be postponed until 18 December 2021, to take place as usual at Yas Marina Circuit.

Event organisers have looked to accommodate various logistical and organisational requirements, which meant for the January edition, Bahrain would make the better venue and December would be better for the Abu Dhabi 10th edition.

Team Parker Racing will make its debut appearance at the Gulf 12 Hours Bahrain later this week as Derek Pierce, Andy Meyrick, and Euan McKay compete in a second-generation Bentley Continental GT3.

The race will be held at Bahrain International Circuit, in the Sakhir desert, for the first time in its history, moving from its traditional home of Yas Marina Circuit, in the nearby United Arab Emirates.

Derek, a regular with Team Parker Racing, has competed in what was formerly known as the Blancpain Endurance Series (now the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup) and had planned to race in that series with the team once again in 2020, before having to amend his plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rossi made his Gulf 12 Hours debut at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi in 2019 with the Monster VR46 Kessel Racing team, winning the GT3 Pro-Am class and taking third position overall.

He will return alongside team-mates Luca Marini and Alessio Salucci in their Ferrari 488 GT3.
