Have you ever imagined what is like to be race driver or rider?
Turn those dreams into reality and start your racing career today! The information below is intended for non-race drivers as well as current racing drivers looking to break into the local motorsport scene. The UAE offers a wide range of exciting championships, supporting go-karts, motorcycles, Touring Cars, GTs, Radicals and Formula series.
- Book a Race License Assessment with us. Passing the assessment is a requirement to be eligible to apply for a FIA Race license with the local motorsport federation. You will need to score 100% to pass. (For Kart racing this is called “ARKS test”)
- If you fail your license assessment, you may need more seat time to get used to driving on a circuit. This can be achieved in a few ways:
Book Dubai Autodrome Experiences
Participate in Dubai Autodrome Track Days
Be coached by one of the teams or organisations.
- Once you complete your assessment, you will need a medical check from your local doctor to ensure you are fit to race.
- Visit the EMSO (Emirates Motorsport Organization) website who are responsible for issuing all UAE race licenses and are the official authority on all UAE Motorsport events.
- The license through EMSO is available for UAE residents only. You can still take the assessment but would need to check with your local motorsport federation if they accept our certificate if you are not a resident of the UAE.
- Cost for Race License Assessment: AED 1,575 incl. VAT

There are a few ways you can find a car to start racing, depending on your budget and whether you would like to own the car or not.
- Option 1: Purchase a new or used race-ready car, depending on the championship you want to participate in. You can contact the local teams for cars that are up for sale.
- Option 2: Arrange an ‘Arrive & Drive’ Package whereby a team rents you the car, provides the technical support at the track and includes maintenance and consumables between races.
- Option 3: Convert a car into a race prepped car. The UAE ProCar Championship features classes that allow you to race your own project on track and fight for trophies. Some of the locals teams can assist you with this project if required, or do it all for you.
