The state-of-the-art karting facility may be a bit of a drive for Dubai and Abu Dhabi residents, but the trip to the emirate will be well worth it when you’re speeding down Al Ain Raceway’s track.
Since opening in 2007, the venue has been the UAE’s only internationally accredited standard track and has hosted a number of events, including the UAE Rotax MAX Challenge National Karting Championship and the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals.
Even if you’re not an experienced driver and just want to experience karting for the first time, Al Ain Raceway has something for all levels.
One experience on offer is the summer ‘happy hour’. Drive solo or bring family, friends or co-workers to enjoy the thrills behind the wheel between 16:00 and 18:00 from Monday to Friday to receive 25 per cent off the sessions. The only requirement is drivers must be aged at least seven years.
Another offer allows you to buy two ‘arrive and drive’ sessions every Monday for Dh240 and get the third free of charge. Test your speed on the 1.6km track in either individual sessions or with a group to challenge yourself.
Take your pick: Racing fans can drive solo or with friends and family.
Each arrive and drive session includes a full safety briefing, full race gear and 15 minutes of track time.
The senior karts are also equipped with steering wheel-mounted information screens, allowing drivers to access up-to-the-minute race data such as position and lap time. It’ll take your abilities to the next level and turn you into an advanced driver in no time.
Al Ain Raceway is open from 16:00 to 22:00 Monday to Friday until August 31 and during normal circuit hours afterwards, it will also be open from 10:00 to 18:00 on Saturday.
