  • You can take your own car to the track.

    If you’ve ever driven your car or ridden your bike down an empty road and wished you could put pedal to the metal, Dubai Autodrome’s Track Days/Evenings are for you.

    The event allows all drivers and riders to experience what their respective vehicle can do in the safe and exciting confines of Dubai Autodrome’s rack track. That means you can let loose without restrictions or constraints and see what your car or bike can really do in a controlled setting.

    Those wanting to test out their bikes can get the rush on Thursday, June 16, while those with cars can hit the pavement on Friday, June 24. Both dates feature club circuits and are for novice and advanced riders only.

    “Track Days/Evenings allow drivers or riders to explore the performance of their cars or bikes in a controlled and safe environment,” said Bert Grogor, sponsorship & business development manager for Dubai Autodrome.

    “Traditionally the average road user will never explore the true performance of their car or bike, however driving or riding on a fully sanctioned FIA Grade 1 race circuit will undoubtedly push their own limits as well as their vehicle’s limits.

    “As you circulate one of our six different circuit configurations you can expect to achieve high speeds, hard braking zones and fast sweeping corners. We feel these experiences are important to help you become a better driver/rider and hopefully bring you a new found respect for driving and driving safety.”

    To ensure safety, Dubai Autodrome will have marshals posted, along with safety trucks, ambulances and also paramedic services available.

    Though anyone with a drivers’ license can participate in Track Days/Evenings, drivers who have not taken part before must first enroll and then join the novice Track Evening.

    Drivers must also wear a helmet at all times on the track and if you don’t own one, you can rent a helmet on the day for Dh50. Any road-worthy car, except for single-seaters, open-wheel cars or SUVs, can be used on the track.
