Fasten your seat belts, the FIA rallycross is here!

The Yas Marina Circuit hosts the region’s inaugural FIA World Rallycross Abu Dhabi in April 2019. It’s about racing and off-track entertainment, so be there!



Speed, pulsing engines, steely nerves…it’s a winning combination that a race car driver needs to get across the finish line. A rally race is packed with so much thrill and unexpected twists that you cannot tear your eyes away from the track for a second.

What is rally racing?



Simply put, rally racing is a car race between different competitors where each tries to get from Point A to Point B at the fastest speed. However, purists argue that it’s not rally racing if the event does not take place on public roads. Today, most rally racing events take place on specially prepared surfaces, such as the F1® racing tracks around the world. This is a controlled form of rally racing, with shorter racing distances.

The point of racing on a public road is that the element of unpredictability in the race is high. However, roads often need to be closed to the general public during the race, so most high-profile rally events today are held on race tracks.

The rallycross racing is a ‘sprint’ between competing race cars on mixed surfaces. The FIA World Rallycross is a prestigious event held in association with IMG Motorsport, is a circuit race held inside stadia or specially prepared surfaces.

It’s here, at the Yas Marina Circuit!
