The Skydive Dubai and Dubai Duty Free Grand Prix is set to take place from the 8th to 10th December 2011.

Victory Team has confirmed that defending World Champion Nadir bin Hendi will not race in the final Grand Prix of the year and is replaced by double World Champion Mohammed Al Marri – the team stating that ‘we have an internal issue regarding Nadir’.

The move sees the 2001 and 2008 Champion teaming-up with three times and defending World Champion Arif Al Zafeen.

Al Marri made his Class 1 debut in 2000, finishing runner-up in the title race - a feat he also achieved in 2005 and 2006 - taking his first World Championship in 2001 with Saeed Al Tayer.

He stepped back from competitive racing at the end of 2006, but made a spectacular return in 2008 to replace the injured Arif Al Zafeen, going on to triple Championship success, winning his second world title and the Middle East and Pole Position Championships with Nadir Bin Hendi.

Mohammed has competed in 71 Grands Prix, winning 13 and finishing on the podium 33 times.
