Chevrolet Supercars Middle East Championship

The Chevrolet Supercars Middle East Championship (also known as the Chevrolet Lumina CSV Championship Middle East) was a one-make auto racing championship for Chevrolet Luminas held in the Middle East.

History
Run by the Bahrain International Circuit, the Chevrolet Supercars Middle East Championship was launched in 2005 in an attempt to establish a domestic racing scene in the Middle East. Vehicles were Improved Production versions of Holden Commodore VZs re-badged as Chevrolet Luminas, utilising Chevrolet V8 engines and a four-speed gearbox. For the 2009–10 season, the championship developed a class structure whereby the Holden Commodore VE was introduced as the top-class Chevrolet Lumina SC09 and the VZ model became a secondary-class Chevrolet Lumina SC06, with the SC09 cars 50hp better than the previous generation.

The championship was held over six seasons, each held in the Middle Eastern winter. No championship was held in 2008–09. Bahraini driver Fahad Al Musalam was the series' most successful driver with two titles. Due to the vehicles similarity to V8 Supercars, Al Musalam and compatriot Raed Raffii earned tests with Garry Rogers Motorsport and Paul Morris Motorsport respectively – Al Musalam going on to race for Team Kiwi Racing in the 2008 Desert 400.
