Due to summer temperatures in the Middle East, the races are held in the winter to have regular temperatures for cars, tires, teams and drivers.

Each season starts at the end of a year (in November) and finishes (in March) the next year.

For the 2023–24 season it was replaced with Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East.[1]
