Anthony McIntosh is set to pull double-duty between two BMW M4 GT3 EVOs in next weekend’s Michelin 24H Dubai, having been confirmed as part of Paradine Competition’s lineup for the 24H Series Middle East season finale.

Confirmed on Friday by the Darren Leung-owned team, the Wisconsin native will join Leung, Ahmad Al Harthy and James Kellett aboard the team’s No. 991 BMW in the Middle Eastern enduro.

It comes in addition to his previously announced driving duties in Team WRT’s No. 669 BMW alongside Kelvin van der Linde, Jordan Pepper, Ben Tuck and Fran Rueda.

Both teams are defending class winners of the race from last year, with AlManar by WRT taking the overall victory and Paradine claiming GT3-Am class honors, with Leung and Al Harthy part of the lineup.

Incidentally, it was Leung who pulled double duty in 2025 between the two entries, claiming a double win.

Silver-rated driver Kellett, meanwhile, will continue his journey with Paradine after an impressive first season in GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup following a Silver Cup class win in the six-hour season opener at Paul Ricard.

“This will be my second 24-hour race with the team and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity,” said Kellett. “Excited to get back to work and start the 2026 season on a high.”

FIA Bronze-rated McIntosh, who is also competing in this weekend’s Michelin 6H Abu Dhabi with WRT, is set for a full season FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 campaign with the Belgian squad alongside co-drivers Parker Thompson and BMW factory pilot Dan Harper, who are sharing driving duties with him at Yas Marina Circuit.

Both Thompson and Harper are unavailable for Dubai due to their IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship commitments at the Roar Before the Rolex 24.
