The Australian will partner within the AF Corse team with Rob Kaufman, Michael Waltrip, Rui Aguas and Niki Cadei, to race in the no. 148 Ferrari F430 GT2.
“It is a bit out of left field,” Ambrose was quoted as saying by Auto123. “Rob Kaufman, who is a part owner of Michael Waltrip Racing, has his own race team in Europe that he 'plays with' and because JTG Daugherty Racing has an association and close alliance with MWR I thought it would be great fun to go across and help Rob out."
“It's not too serious. We're just going to go up there and be good support for them. Their lead driver is Rui Aguas and he'll qualify the car and do all the things he wants to do to it."
“He'll lead the race for us and all those things so there is no pressure on, I'm just going over there with Michael Waltrip and Rob Kaufmann to have a good time and meet some new people and race a cool car.”
2003-2004 V8 Supercar champion in Australia in, Ambrose will get behind the wheel of a Ferrari for the first time.
"It will help me out too because it gets me back behind the wheel of a race car again before the season starts. I've never been to Dubai and I've never raced a 24-hour race over in the Middle East, so it's a racing first for me.”
