Abu Dhabi: Yas Marina Circuit will host the second round of the Yas Racing Series’ the TRD 86 Cup on Friday.
Karim Al Azhari won both races in the first round in December, with five more rounds due to be held at the home of the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The TRD 86 Cup was created by Yas Motor Racing Club to nurture the growth of sustainable local motorsports.
In addition to this, Yas Racing Series also includes the Formula Gulf 1000, the UAE’s national single-seater championship, featuring cars with identical slicks and wings, as well as UAE Time Attack – a race series that sees production-based sports cars compete for the fastest single lap.
“Enthusiasm for local motor-racing is running very high in the UAE,” said Al Tareq Al Ameri, Chief Executive Officer of Yas Marina Circuit. “There is a huge appetite for affordable, entry-level racing action from both amateur drivers and spectators, and at Yas Marina Circuit we are doing all we can to facilitate this demand and to play our part in developing the country’s racing scene and to nurturing tomorrow’s professional racers through initiatives such as this.”
