The 2017 calendar of motorsport action will get off to a roaring start as the UAE’s best urban racing series rolls into Yas Marina Circuit this weekend.

Throughout the two-day event (19th & 20thJanuary) more than 100 of the UAE’s best urban racers will put their street racing machines to the test in the region’s rawest, grittiest, ultra-competitive environment and battle it out for more than AED 25,000 in cash prizes.

With the biggest and best field to date, spectators can watch drivers and their souped-up machines compete across five separate categories that include; 4×4 Super Street SUV’; ‘Index 11.5’; ‘Index 10.5’; ‘Index 9.0’ and ‘Super Street – Open Category’.

Saud Al Qaydi, Motorsport Manager at Yas Marina Circuit, said: “At Yas Marina Circuit, we have many forms of racing and Yas Super Street Challenge is motorsport in its rawest form. We are delighted to welcome the competitors who will return for our third season. “The series was initially created so that motorsport enthusiasts from across the UAE could come together in a safe drag racing space and take it off the streets. We are thrilled to see the series back with one of our biggest number of entries so far.”

Yas Super Street Challenge offers a professional racing environment for grassroots level prices and with a raft of cash prizes again up for grabs, this season promises to be even more exciting than last year. The cost of entry is only 400 AED per driver, and with access to the pit lane for support crews costing only 100 AED, this season’s experience is not only unique, but affordable too.

Those quickest off the line can win a range of cash prizes, with 5,000 AED going to third place, 10,000 AED for second, and 15,000 AED for first.

Anyone who prefers to cheer from the grandstand is also welcome and entry is priced at only 50 AED, dropping to 30 AED for students carrying a valid student ID. The on-track excitement will be complemented by a wide range of on-site food trucks for spectators to enjoy.

VIP tickets are available at 250 AED, providing access to VIP parking, as well as the best viewing seats in the house, the drag paddock area.
