  • Star attraction: Karim Al Azhari will look to continue his remarkable form at this weekend's race in Abu Dhabi.

    Yas Marina Circuit will again echo to the sound of spectators’ cheers this weekend as the second round of the Yas Racing Series returns on Friday, featuring three local UAE championships.

    Following the excitement of Round One held in December that saw Karim Al Azhari storm ahead in the series with first place in both races, tension will be running high as a packed grid of UAE-based drivers once again face-off.

    In addition to TRD 86 Cup, Yas Racing Series also includes the Formula Gulf 1000, the UAE’s national single-seater championship, featuring cars with identical slicks and wings, as well as UAE Time Attack – a highly dynamic race series that sees production-based sports cars compete for the fastest single lap.

    A young driver tackles Yas Marina Circuit in preparation for the Yas Racing Series.

    “Enthusiasm for local motor racing is running very high in the UAE,” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit.  “There is a huge appetite for affordable, entry-level racing action from both amateur drivers and spectators, and at Yas Marina Circuit we are doing all we can to facilitate this demand and to play our part in developing the country’s racing scene and to nurturing tomorrow’s professional racers through initiatives such as this.”
