Date: 2 April, 2010
Venue: Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Island

Experience the thrill and excitement of racing your own vehicle at Yas Marina Circuit, the world’s newest and most technologically advanced motor racing facilities ever developed.

This is a unique opportunity to test the performance and handling ability of your own vehicle in a safe and controlled environment that is suitable for all driver abilities ranging from beginners to advanced motorists.

Full day sessions, including a thorough track briefing, will give you up to 3 and a half hours of heart pounding action on the circuit which hosted the best Grand Prix of 2009. Half day sessions are also available. Experienced instructors can also be booked in advance to help make the most of your day.

Friends and family who come to watch will be allowed free entry but do not need to miss out on any of the excitement. Passenger rides and hot laps with qualified drivers in our high performance GTR’s allow everyone to experience the speed and exhilaration.

Upon arrival at the circuit all participants will be required to register and will receive a comprehensive safety driver briefing. Drivers will then be divided into ability groups and after some basic circuit familiarization laps, the track is yours!

Book now or pay on the day - don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to be one of the first public spectators to drive Yas Marina Circuit!


Any one Going? I was thinking of trying it out... Do they allow stangs?

And if anyone's coming please state your car make and model, so i know who to look out for...

Cheers! (Y)

If it's your first time, I'd recommend Autodrome. Went there and it's addictive. And I drove a tiny hatchback.

Yas Marina tracks are apparently way better than the ones in DA, but considering you're in AUH, Yas Marina it is. In DA, if you're a newbie, its recommended to go for a instructor led round for AED 300 (skipped it, but maybe I might actually try it soon). Then you can go for 3 20 minute rounds of the Club Circuit (around 3.5 kms) for AED 600.

AED 1000 for almost 3.5 hours at Yas Marina compared to AED 900 for an hour at DA.

Sam > Yeah if one has a reliable car, nothing like doing a full day !!! Seat time cannot be compared to $$$ paid for it ... its priceless :-)

Exquisite > the track is yours ... you can do whatever the throttle you want as long as you know your limits, and most importantly your car's limits too - both should be combined. Its not like max rpm / max speed / tatatata feetheck like some people think :-) They will guide you with regard to rules of a track day at the briefing. I see you're in abu dhabi, once you go for one track day, you'll be addicted to it :-)
