Yas Marina Circuit will once again echo to the roar of street racers this weekend as some of the UAE’s best drivers battle it out to be crowned ‘King of the Street’ on its purpose built drag strip.

Following the success of round 1 in January, the second round of the open-entry Yas Super Street Challenge will take place on 26th-27th February and will see more than 90 of the UAE’s best street racers going head to head across five distinct entry categories – ‘4x4 Super Street SUV’; ‘Index 11.5’; ‘Index 10.5’; ‘Super Street’ and ‘Super Street – Open Category’.

As part of its ongoing bid to encourage grassroots motorsport activity in the UAE, Yas Marina Circuit is offering would-be drag kings the chance to take part for 400 AED, with cash prizes ranging from 5,000 AED for third place, 10,000 AED for second, and 15,000 AED for first place up for grabs. Support crews can access the pit lane for only 100 AED, making the Yas Super Street Challenge an affordable experience held in one of the most professional racing environments possible.

Spectators can watch all the heart-pumping drag racing action from the grandstand for only 50 AED –students pay only 30 AED with a valid student ID – and in addition to the exciting on-track action, can enjoy music from a live DJ, as well as a wide range of on-site food and beverage options to choose from.

For 250 AED, VIP tickets are also available now, providing access to the best viewing seats in the house, the drag paddock area, and a delicious array of catering served in the comfort of the hospitality suite.

“Drag racing is extremely popular among UAE youth and we are delighted to be able to open up our purpose built drag strip to them.” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit. “We are constantly striving to encourage grassroots motorsport in the UAE and the Yas Super Street Challenge is the perfect platform to engage with all those out there that are as passionate about racing as we are”.
