Once l was able to get to the tour, it was great. Unfortunately, the confusion over the ticketing process and locating the meeting point was terrible. I almost did not go because l purchased my ticket on one day. The next morning l was emailed it was cancelled, only to receive another email indicating it was now back on. Almost did not go! Please fix these things for future customers!

Great opportunity to get up and close with sights you see on TV plus being able to go to areas that you can't get to on Grand Prix weekend. Tour guide was knowledgible. Arrival arrangements are an area for improvement for those not familiar with the venue. Tickets were available through Headcount that were supposedly sold out through other organisations

Top things to do in Abu Dhabi

Race beyond F1: Grab Yas Marina Circuit tickets & kart like a pro

Step onto the legendary Yas Marina Circuit and feel what it’s like to race like the pros. From go-kart duels on the same tarmac where champions have battled, to high-speed drives that let you taste the F1 lifestyle, this isn’t just watching motorsport, it’s living it. Take the wheel, hit the apex, and make the track your own.

What can you do at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi?

Yas Marina Circuit Abu Dhabi
  • Go karting: Battle it out on the Yas Kartzone track. Family-friendly, but competitive enough to test your skills against friends (and brag later).
  • Drive the Formula Yas 3000: Strap into a real single-seater and unleash the power of a 3.0L V6 engine, the closest you’ll get to being an F1 driver without the sponsorship deal.
  • Drift like a pro: Slide into adrenaline mode with pro drift sessions, where you can master hair-raising turns under expert guidance.
  • Tour the circuit’s secrets: Step behind the scenes with a guided tour that reveals what happens on race day, from pit garages to exclusive vantage points.

How to pick the right Yas Marina Circuit experience for you

​Drive or ride?
  • Drive it yourself → Choose the Formula Yas 3000, a high-performance Track Day car, or Kartzone for a lighter, family-friendly option.
  • Ride shotgun → Prefer to sit back while a pro takes control? Hot Laps (high-speed or drifting) give you the thrill without worrying about the gears.
Who’s coming with you?
  • Families with kids → Kartzone is the only option for little racers (ages 5+, height 105cm+). Separate tracks for juniors, teens, and adults mean everyone gets a fair race.
  • Solo thrill-seekers or couples → Formula Yas 3000 and Track Days are your best bet.
Got a license?
  • Yes, and 2+ years of driving experience → Go for Formula Yas 3000 or select Track Day cars.
  • No license? No problem → Kartzone and Hot Laps don’t require one—just bring an ID.
Choose your gear
  • Automatic & paddle-shift cars available for most sessions.
  • Manual know-how is required for select experiences like the Caterham or Formula cars.
Before you book
  • Always bring your ID and/or driver’s license.
  • Double-check age, height, weight, and fitness rules for each experience.
  • Locals’ perk: Enjoy free public evenings on the circuit for jogging, walking, or cycling.
