  • Drivers from last year's Ramadan Challenge.

    Kart racers of all ages will contest a host of prizes awarded at the end of the four rounds on Sunday, 3 July 2016.

    The 2016 Ramadan Challenge is set to introduce changes to the racing format, including the launch of the Junior Cup, which is open to anyone aged between 7 and 14-years-old.

    Drivers over 15-years-old will compete in the Senior Cup, while the separate Masters sub-category is open for those aged over 35.

    “There has been a huge buzz around the karting community for the 2016 Ramadan Challenge, especially with the addition of the Junior Cup to the bill. With new formats for both juniors and seniors, racing will be very close,” said David Bright, Dubai Kartdrome assistant manager.

    Junior Cup competitors will race the indoor circuit, while the remaining categories will take to the outdoor equivalent.
