  • Race the same track as Hamilton and Vettel.

    This Eid Al Fitr, Yas Marina Circuit – the home of the famous season-ending Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix – will play host to a variety of action-packed racing-themed activities and experiences.

    On Thursday, June 14 and Friday 15, drivers will be able to test their skills on the same track that Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel speed on every November, go head-to-head with friends and even try out the venue’s new North Circuit.

    But, the offerings don’t end there.

    On Saturday, June 16, friends, families and racing fans alike can also jump behind the wheel of any one of the experiences available and take advantage of discounted rates of up to 50 per cent.

    There’s plenty of opportunities to accelerate in a Aston Martin GT4, Mercedes-AMG GT, Jaguar F-type S Coupe or Formula Yas 3000 on the famous circuit.

    Or, if that doesn’t rock your boat, slide down their custom build drag strip in what promises to be a thrilling spectacle for all petrolheads.

    The 800-metre Yas KartZone track will also be open daily from 20:00 until midnight, with prices starting from as little as Dh60 for kids and Dh120 for adults.

    There are many, many packages on offer, including the North Circuit Premium Karting option.

    This gives people the chance to try out the brand-new track layout at the venue and is inclusive of the hiring of essential racing gear such as helmets, gloves, overalls and safety covers. As part of the cost, a full safety briefing is conducted by experienced Yas Marina Circuit instructors.

    And, to make things that little bit more competitive, you will be also provided with your race results at the end of every session so you can compare how you got on with everyone else! That is sure to get the juices flowing.

    To take part, drivers must be aged 18 or over, however you don’t need to be an expert racer or even own a driving licence to hit the tarmac. Due to the popularity of Premium Karting, participants are encouraged to book in advance to guarantee their spot.
