Burning Rubber is Back: Yas Super Street Challenge Roars Into Abu Dhabi

If loud engines, fast launches, and pure adrenaline sound like your kind of weekend, clear your schedule. The Yas Super Street Challenge is officially back, and it’s firing up Yas Marina Circuit with Abu Dhabi’s biggest drag racing showdown.

Round 1 of the 2026 season starts this weekend, bringing the region’s most fearless street racers onto a proper track — where speed is celebrated, not fined.

Raw drag racing, no filters

This isn’t polished motorsport with dress codes and champagne. The Yas Super Street Challenge is loud, gritty, and proudly homegrown.

Drivers line up in seriously powerful cars and bikes for a straight-line sprint that’s all about reaction time, horsepower, and nerve. The goal? Trophies, bragging rights, and the title everyone wants: King of the Street.

Seven categories, zero cruising

The opening round launches a four-race season, with competitors battling it out across seven championship categories for both cars and motorcycles.

These aren’t casual drivers out for a spin. This is where the UAE’s top drag racers show up to push limits and go all in.

More than racing: full weekend hangout

Even when the track cools down, the vibes don’t. The event village runs all weekend, turning Yas Marina into a proper motorsport hangout.

Expect food trucks, music, and plenty to see between races. General admission tickets get you into the grandstand and village — enough to feel every launch and gear shift. Want to get closer to the action? The VIP upgrade gives you paddock access and front-row race energy.

Speed, but make it safe

At its core, the Yas Super Street Challenge is about giving racers a safe, professional space to unleash their machines. No public roads, no risks — just full throttle racing on one of the region’s most iconic circuits.
