In a city already comfortable hosting the biggest names in global racing, Edition 2 of the Yas Speed Festival will bring motorsport closer to its audience, rather than placing it behind barriers and credentials.
With the first edition launched earlier in the month, the second installment of the Yas Speed Festival will bring together multiple high-octane motorsport disciplines under one roof.
More Than Racing on the Track
At its core, the festival is built around competitive racing, with a packed programme that spans endurance events and high-performance series. But the real interest lies in what surrounds the racing.
Car culture has always thrived in the UAE. The Yas Speed Festival has harnessed this passion by putting on curated car displays, fan zones, and interactive areas that sit alongside the on-track action.
Yas Marina’s Evolving Identity
Abu Dhabi’s sporting calendar is ever-evolving, and motorsport remains one of its defining pillars. The Yas Speed Festival plays a big part in this, and 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 all.
Yas Marina Circuit has spent recent years repositioning itself as more than a once-a-year Formula 1 venue, and the Speed Festival continues that approach to offer diverse motorsport events over the calendar year.
A Festival Built for Access
Families, casual fans and committed petrolheads are all catered for, with the emphasis placed on experience rather than exclusivity. It’s an event that will make the weekend worthwhile.
The Yas Speed Festival will deliver one of those events that quietly grows into a fixture. It understands what modern motorsport audiences are looking for but also follows the trend of making sure it ticks the entertainment boxes for all.
