Yas Racing Series holds third round on Friday

Abu Dhabi: The Yas Racing Series returns to Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on Friday and includes a range of local motorsport championships.

These will kick off with the TRD 86 Cup, Yas Marina Circuit’s first single-make championship as it enters its third round. Competition will be tough, organisers believe, as a full grid of UAE drivers face off over two races, competing for leaderboard supremacy as the championship reaches its halfway mark.

Fans will also be kept on the edge of their seats as the Formula Gulf 1000, the UAE’s national single-seater championship featuring cars with identical slicks and wings, battle it out on the Formula One track.

Also taking place this weekend is the UAE Time Attack, a race series that sees production-based sports cars compete for the fastest single lap.

Yas Racing Series also includes action from the NGK Racing Series and the Radical Cup.

Tickets for Friday’s full racing programme at Yas Marina Circuit are available for Dh25. For more information about the Yas Racing Series, visit yasmarinacircuit.com or call 800 YAS (927).

All of the weekend’s racing action can be caught on Yas Marina Circuit’s new motorsport news channel, Yas TV, at youtube.com/user/YasMarinaCircuit.
