YAS SPEED FESTIVAL EDITION 2 TO LAUNCH THIS WEEKEND

Home to the best motorsport events and activities in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit is gearing up for Yas Speed Festival Edition 2 on 21 February.

Launched with the first edition from 7–8 February, this second installment of the Yas Speed Festival will bring together multiple high-octane motorsport disciplines under one roof, creating a strong community-driven atmosphere both on and off track.

Positioned as a multi-edition festival that brings together elite racing championships and immersive off-track experiences, Yas Speed Festival reinforces Yas Marina Circuit’s role as hub for motorsport culture and community engagement in the UAE.

For the first time, the Emirates Drift Championship finale will take place on the F1 track at Yas Marina Circuit, delivering a unique and elevated experience for drivers and spectators alike.

The previous round saw Emirati drivers dominate the podium positions, with Khalifa Al Falasi securing first place in the Pro category and Ahmed Al Ailawi taking first place in the Street/Modified Class category. This builds strong anticipation for an intense final showdown this weekend.

Additionally, the Yas Drag Roll Race championship returns for its final round. The previous round saw record-breaking participation, with over 157 cars competing – marking one of the strongest turnouts to date and setting the stage for an exciting finale.

Beyond the circuit, the festival will once showcase Yas Motor Majlis, a large-scale automotive gathering featuring more than 400 cars, celebrating regional car culture and bringing together enthusiasts, collectors, and families adding to the overall festival experience.

Aligned with the UAE’s Year of the Family, Yas Speed Festival is designed as a family-friendly, inclusive festival that extends beyond motorsport fans to the wider community.

Visitors can enjoy a range of experiences, including:

  • Family-friendly ticket packages
  • A dedicated kids’ play area
  • Festival Fan Zone and interactive activations
  • A curated selection of food trucks
  • General Admission access to the Main Grandstand

For guests seeking premium experience, VIP hospitality options will be available, including suite viewing areas offering exceptional trackside perspectives.

With its combination of elite racing, grassroots car culture, and off-track entertainment, Yas Speed Festival aims to drive community participation, encourage shared experiences, and attract visitors of all ages to Yas Marina Circuit.
