Yas Marina Circuit to host weekend of race action

Motorsport fans in the UAE can look forward to a fantastic three days of competitive on-track action at Yas Marina Circuit this weekend, with SWS Karting kicking proceedings off before Yas Super Street Challenge and the conclusion of this season’s Yas Racing Series also taking place.

The final round of Yas Racing Series, on February 14 and 15, will feature the culmination of the TRD Toyota 86 Cup, along with Time Attack and F4 UAE, in which both Amna and Hamda Al Qubaisi will be showcasing their abilities.

Meanwhile, Yas Super Street Challenge, on February 13 and 14, sees competitors go head-to-head in a battle to take home prize money, and those spectators in attendance will have the opportunity to watch high-performance street cars compete at the Drag Strip to become King of the Street.

With three top-quality events making up the final round of Yas Racing Series, there will be no shortage of competitive on-track action.

The TRD Toyota 86 Cup is the venue’s first ever single make championship where drivers get behind the wheel of a Toyota GT 86 and compete over the course of seven race weekends to come out on top.

UAE Time Attack, meanwhile, is a dynamic race series where production-based sports cars compete for the fastest single lap around a paved road course, ensuring entertaining, high-speed action is a certainty.

Also taking place at the Circuit this weekend is the latest Sodi World Series Karting Sprint Race, a competitive go-kart competition in which drivers can win points throughout the year and improve their international scores. The race takes place on February 13, from 7pm-9pm, and entry is Dh450 ($122.4).

Elsewhere over the course of the weekend, race fans will be able to take advantage of free Pit Lane Walks, allowing you to see the team garages and cars, and enjoy activities in Yas Garage, as well as taking part in the Circuit Safari (priced Dh200/$54.4), a unique opportunity to take an up-close look at the Circuit.

Tickets for Yas Racing Series are priced Dh25 ($6.8), while Yas Super Street Challenge tickets cost Dh55/$14.9 (kids under 12 go for free at both events).

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, now is the last chance to take advantage of some fantastic offers in conjunction with Yas Marina Circuit’s Driving Experiences.

There are Silver, Gold and Platinum options available, in which you can drive iconic vehicles such as an Aston Martin, Formula Yas 3000 or Caterham Seven and enjoy a hotel stay on Yas Island. Packages start from Dh640 ($174.2) and although gifts are valid until February 28, bookings must be made before February 14. - TradeArabia News Service
