The Dutch agency Creventic is the organiser and promoter of the series. Their goals are to organise races with "low costs, a convivial atmosphere with teams and drivers from all over the world and fair competition on the track." In co-operation with the Dutch National Racing Team (DNRT) – one of the biggest motorsport organisations of the Benelux – they organised the inaugural Dubai 24 Hour in 2006.[1] Creventic is also the organiser of the 24H Series and the Touring Car Endurance Series.
On 23 September 2022, Creventic announced the formation of the Middle East Trophy, with the first race taking place on 30 November.[2][3] On 23 September 2023, it was announced that the series would return for the 2023–24 season.[4][5]
