The 32-year-old, who was a WRC regular between 2013 and 2015, will drive the Porsche GT3 car in his first ever 24-hour endurance race on January 12-14.

"I would like to confirm that I will do a race in Dubai on 12th-14th of January. I will join a national team in a Porsche GT3 car and I will try some 24 hours racing," he said.

Last year, Kubica drove the ByKolles LMP1 car in the post-season testing and told Motorsport.com that injuries would not lessen his chances of making a career in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Earlier in the year, the grand prix winner returned to circuit racing after five years in March, when he competed in the 12 Hours of Mugello.

In addition, Kubica also raced in the Spa-Francorchamps round in Renault Sport Trophy, finishing Race 1 on the podium, and took part in November's 6 Hours of Rome at Vallelunga.
