    RAS AL KHAIMAH CLASSIC
    Sunday, 1 May-Wednesday, 4 May

    The Ras Al Khaimah Classic, round four of the 19-stage Mena Golf Tour season is the first event in the series’ history to offer world rankings points.

    Set against the backdrop of the majestic Hajar Mountains, the Tower Links Golf Club opened its doors in May 2004 with the floodlit back nine and Golf Academy.

    The growing stature of the Mena Golf Tour has been recognised at the highest level with the governing board of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) giving its nod to award the ranking status to its members in 2016.

    VENUE: Tower Links Golf Club

    AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
    Tuesday, May 3 – Wednesday, May 4

    TUESDAY: UAE’s Al Ain host Nasaf from Uzbekistan and nothing but a win, as any one of the remaining three teams in Group D can still join El Jaish in qualifying for the knockout stages.

    Also in action on Tuesday are Al Jazira, who are out for revenge against Pakhtakor, after going down 3-1 to the Uzbek’s in their previous fixture.

    WEDNESDAY: Al Nasr travel to Uzbekistan knowing that victory against Lokomotiv will see them progress to the last 16.

    VENUE: Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium (Al Ain v Nasaf)

    YAS DRAG NIGHT
    Thursday, 5 May

    Yas Drag Racing Nights provide access to an NHRA drag strip in a practice-testing format, allowing participants to unleash the power of their tuned cars and bikes in a safe and controlled environment.

    Drivers are encouraged to either bring their own car or use the track’s very own Mercedes-AMG E63. It is the ideal place to test acceleration, sharpen drag skills and have a good time.
