Yas Marina Circuit is gearing up for the start of another busy motorsport season as the Yas Racing Series gets underway this weekend with plenty of entertainment off and on the track for people to enjoy. Free entry tickets are now available.
Racing fans and the public can watch the official practice sessions on Friday as teams look to fine-tune their cars before the season-opening races in the Yas Kartzone viewing area.
Running from 31st October to 2nd November, the opening round features the Gulf ProCar Championship, the region’s leading GT and touring car series, alongside the Gulf Radical Cup, showcasing high-speed prototype race cars. Thursday will be dedicated to testing, followed by Friday’s official practice sessions, giving teams vital track time ahead of the races.
Race weekend on Saturday and Sunday will see drivers battle for early season points in both championships, while the Emirates Motorsports Organisation (EMSO) conducts live marshal training and a Formula 1 simulation race in preparation for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With free admission on all three days, fans can return or see the teams in competitive action for the first time on Saturday and Sunday as they battle for glory in the Gulf ProCar Championship and the Gulf Radical Cup.
As well as watching the thrilling action, the public will not be short of options for activities off the track. Among the free activations to take place on Saturday and Sunday are: the Pit Stop Challenge where fans can test themselves to change tyres in this exciting team competition, and fun games including the Tamiya Mini 4WD race track in the Otaku M.E Experience.
Adults and children can also get up close to the racing cars and get their pictures taken during the popular Pit Lane Walk while fans of all ages can have a go in mini-track racing as part of the ADNOC Yas in Schools Challenge.
