Yas Marina Circuit's custom build drag strip will once again be filled with the roar of street machines this weekend as the region's best urban racers go head to head in rawest, grittiest, ultra-competitive environment and battle it out for more than Dh 25,000 in cash prizes.
Yas Super Street Challenge, which takes place on 23rdand 24thFebruary, will see over 100 drivers battle out in order to get their hands-on cash prizes and take one step closer to becoming crowned 'King of the Streets'.
With the biggest and best field to date, spectators can watch drivers and their souped-up machines compete across five separate categories that include; 4x4 Super Street SUV'; 'Index 11.5'; 'Index 10.5'; 'Index 9.0' and 'Super Street - Open Category'.
Saud Al Qaydi, Motorsport Manager at Yas Marina Circuit, said: "The last round of Yas Super Street Challenge saw drivers from across the GCC and as far afield as Russia compete at the drag strip here at Yas Marina Circuit and this round will be no different. This is a true testament to how much the event has grown over the past number of years and how competitive the series is becoming."
"In the last round we saw fierce competition across all categories and I expect nothing less this time around as the drivers will be looking to get as many points on the board as possible to ensure they take home the top prizes and get one step closer to becoming 'King of the Street'."
Yas Super Street Challenge offers a professional racing environment for grassroots level prices and with a raft of cash prizes again up for grabs, this season promises to be even more exciting than last year. The cost of entry is only Dh 400 per driver, and with access to the pit lane for support crews costing only Dh 100 , this season's experience is not only unique, but affordable too.
Those quickest off the line can win a range of cash prizes, with Dh 5,000 going to third place, Dh 10,000 for second, and Dh 15,000 for first.
Anyone who prefers to cheer from the grandstand is also welcome and entry is priced at only Dh 50 , dropping to Dh 30 for students carrying a valid student ID. The on-track excitement will be complemented by a range of on-site food trucks for spectators to enjoy.
