The promoter of the Dubai based stock car series Speedcar is hoping to pair with the inaugural Abu Dhabi grand prix late next year.

The series is already set to support next year's formula one races in Malaysia and Bahrain, but Speedcar boss Claudio Berro revealed he is "in talks with Abu Dhabi".

This week in Dubai, famous F1 faces including Jean Alesi, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Tonio Liuzzi and Sakon Yamamoto were testing Speedcars.

Berro told the local newspaper The National: "We are working with the FIA to race together with formula one.

"This year, we will be racing at two grands prix, next year we want to make it three or more races. The combination of Speedcar and F1 is a great mix."
