As a racetrack that drivers love to compete at, we have managed to attract and host the
likes of the FIA GT Championship, European Touring Car Championship, A1 GP, GP2
Asia, Lamborghini Super Trofeo ME, MRF Challenge, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge ME,
the Gulf Radical Cup, Ferrari APAC, F3 Asia, F4 UAE, Asian Le Mans Series, the Gulf
Historic Dubai GP Revival and the renowned Hankook 24H Dubai endurance Race.

Hosting such prestigious races attracts several thousands of spectators each year, with
the numbers rising year-on-year proving that the UAE motorsport season is thriving.
Furthermore, we play an important part in ensuring its growth.

Our community-driven approach allows spectators to get up close and personal with the
cars and drivers, making it more accessible compared to other top-tier sporting events.

Walk us through the various racing tracks and facilities available at Dubai
Autodrome. What makes each track unique and suitable for different racing
disciplines?

The Dubai Autodrome includes an FIA Grade 1-sanctioned 5.39-kilometre circuit with
six different configurations.

Two of these – the GP and International Circuits – are FIA grade 1 and enable us to
host top-level motorsport. This creates a good variety for different championships
whereby they can run different rounds on different configurations in a given season.

The other configurations are suitable for our public driving experiences and tailor-made
corporate events. The track is supported by a race school out of which we run our
customer driving experiences, the Grandstand Retail Plaza and the Business Park,
which has a total of 19 units with more to come shortly.

The Business Parks units are home to an array of automotive companies and race
teams.

Across the road is the world-renowned Dubai Kartdrome featuring outdoor and indoor
tracks. These tracks offer the general public the most accessible taste of motorsport.

The 1.2-kilometre outdoor track also hosts numerous karting competitions, which is the
breeding ground for many local and regional racing drivers.

Beyond racing circuits, what other motorsport experiences do you offer visitors
and enthusiasts?
