Do I need a driving licence? - Yes, and you must take your valid driving licence with you on the day to present to the team. Competition licences are also accepted to be allowed to participate during a track day.

Can I take extra drivers and passengers? - Yes, you can share your car with an additional driver and take one passenger in your car on track. Additional drivers and passengers can be booked during the online booking process or during sign-on at the venue and will need to sign-on at the registration desk and collect their wristband.

Will I need a crash helmet? - Yes, Open face helmets are fine unless your car doesn't have a windscreen in which case it must be a closed face helmet. Dubai Autodrome has a range of helmets that can be rented on the day of the event, but stock may be limited. Professional equipment can also be purchased at Gulf Sport Racing, located at Unit 8 of the Grandstand Retail Plaza.

I don’t have any overalls, does that matter? - No, if you are driving a standard road car a racing suit / overall is not required. If you are in an open top car, arms and legs must be covered and suits are strongly recommended for track day participants driving race cars.

Will my standard insurance cover me for car trackdays? - Probably not, unless you are very lucky. If you damage your pride and joy, you are on your own, and although the circuit will have insurance it will only be for Third Party Public Liability.

Do I need to do anything to my car? - Do I need make any special arrangements? Remove or secure all loose articles inside your car, including in the boot.
