YUKA Gymkhana Challenge Brings a New Racing Format to Yas Marina Circuit

Abu Dhabi is set to welcome a new kind of motorsport experience as YUKA Gymkhana Challenge arrives at the iconic Yas Marina Circuit on February 15 from 19:00 to midnight. With free public entry and a family-friendly format, the event aims to introduce audiences in the UAE to the fast-growing discipline of Gymkhana.

Gymkhana is a precision-based racing. In each heat, two drivers start simultaneously on mirror-layout tracks filled with technical obstacles. After switching sides, the winner is determined by the combined time of both runs — creating intense, second-by-second competition.

Beyond the racing action, the event offers a large festival zone featuring live DJs, a diverse food court, entertainment attractions, children’s areas, and a car exhibition. The combination of night racing, music, and automotive culture transforms the evening into a full lifestyle experience.

Hosted at one of the world’s most recognized racing venues, YUKA Gymkhana Challenge is not just a sporting event — it is a celebration of speed, precision, and car culture in the heart of Abu Dhabi.
