24 Hours of Dubai race recap

Never expected this, but, because of the torrential rains in the desert of Dubai, the 2020 edition of the race was called way early, with barely 1/3rd of the distance, completed, due to torrential rain that stopped the race after seven hours, and it never restarted.  Your winner is the #4 Black Falcon Mercedes AMG GT3 with the winning drivers, Ben Barker, Jeroen Bleekemolen, Khalid Al Qubaisi, Hubert Haupt, and Manuel Metzger.

Here are the race highlights in story form.
