As the engines roar back to life in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit is officially opening the 2025/26 motorsport season this weekend with a unmissable line-up of racing, community activities, and family entertainment, all with free admission.
From 31 October to 2 November, the iconic circuit welcomes fans, families, and motorsport enthusiasts to the first round of the Yas Racing Series, featuring two of the region’s premier championships: the Gulf ProCar Championship and the Gulf Radical Cup.
While the track will showcase the region’s top GT, touring, and prototype racers competing for early-season points, the weekend promises much more than adrenaline. Off the track, Yas Marina Circuit transforms into a festival of motorsport culture.
On the Track: Gulf ProCar & Gulf Radical Cup
Drivers from across the Middle East will battle for glory as the Gulf ProCar Championship returns, delivering high-performance GT and touring car action, alongside the Gulf Radical Cup, where sleek prototype cars test the limits of speed and precision.
Friday’s practice sessions are open to the public, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look as teams fine-tune their machines under the Abu Dhabi sun. The main races take place over the weekend, with live commentary and the energy of a true international circuit.
