Motorsport in het emiraat Abu Dhabi

Motorsports & Racing

Abu Dhabi's racing scene encompasses both modern high-tech engineering and deep-seated cultural traditions. The Hermann Tilke-designed Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island serves as the centerpiece, hosting the annual Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In contrast, the desert-based camel raceways feature specialized sand and asphalt tracks dedicated to the traditional sport of camel racing. These venues highlight the evolution of speed in the emirate, from professional motorsports to heritage-focused competitions.
