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: “The last round of Yas Super Street Challenge saw drivers from across the GCC and as far afield as Russia compete at the drag strip here at Yas Marina Circuit and this round will be no different. This is a true testament to how much the event has grown over the past number of years and how competitive the series is becoming. In the last round we saw fierce competition across all categories and I expect nothing less this time around as the drivers will be looking to get as many points on the board as possible to ensure they take home the top prizes and get one step closer to becoming ‘King of the Street’.”
