    Formula DXB Max Experience
    I did the Formula DXB Max experience and thoroughly loved it! My instructor, Fidel, gave a great briefing prior to driving and answered all questions. I was able to get on track with another instructor, Kuda, who was fantastic as well. He brought me up to speed quickly and I was able to drive as fast as I was capable of, since it was just he & I in our group. After the session, Kuda gave me instruction on how I could improve my driving, which was much appreciated. I will be back soon! One area could be improved on, which is the lighting at night. The area around turn 1 is a bit dark and could use some additional lighting and the lighting around the chicane could be modified so that it doesn't shine in your eyes coming up through the chicane. Looking forward to my next experience! Cheers!
    Hello from Dubai Autodrome, Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We are very pleased to know that you had a both fun and beneficial experience with Fidel and Kuda! We are working to improve our lighting and improve the experience of our night sessions, particularly at Turn 1. This should be completed in the very near future. We hope to see you on track again soon! Regards, Dubai Autodrome Team

    Spectacular!

    Excellent racing experience
    We came for a passenger ride in a Ferrari 458 GT. All service personnel was very friendly and helpful. Organisation was very structured and safety standards were on a very high level, for example triple checking if seat belts were fastened correctly. The race car had brand new front tires so we got an extra round for free to experience full speed - it was excellent! Is this a helpful review?

    M2 Experience
    Amazing race track offering plenty of different experiences from open wheel single seaters to sports cars. I did the M2 Experience and aside from it being a little too short it was amazing. Instructors give you all the necessary information and confidence and depending on your skills let you push the cars quite a bit. Everybody from the staff is very friendly.

    Must try if you live to drive.
    Been on my bucket list for a long time. Booked months in advance to drive the BMW 240i. Was a fantastic experience. You get around 7 laps with an instructor. Takes time to get used to the left hand drive. But a must try. Many cars to choose. The location is a bit outside of main Dubai, but taxis are pretty much easy to get.

    F1 Experience 11/10
    I did the F1 track experience and it was worth every penny. My instructor Sean was very thorough and informative. He started by briefing me on what to expect followed by driving me around the track in a BMW M3 for familiarization. I then drove a couple laps in a 2-seater racecar as Sean rode along, in order to get me comfortable on the track. This gave me a chance to get familiar with braking zones and corner exits before hopping into the beast. Then there was the F1 drive itself. I definitely stalled out a couple times leaving the pit lane, but the engineers were very helpful in getting me moving. By far the best driving experience I've had. If you ever get the opportunity, this is something you don't want to miss. This was my first time on a race track. I hadn't driven a manual car any time recently, but I do a lot of sim racing. You definitely want to be comfortable with when to shift, but the clutch is only used for getting into 1st gear. Once you get going, it's all paddle shifters from there. This was a blast, and I highly recommend Sean as an instructor.
    Hello Bary! Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are very glad you enjoyed the ultimate experience! We will send Sean your regards, and we look forward to your next visit and your next exciting experience. Regards, Dubai Autodrome Team

Arrived at the Welcome Centre which at that time of day was fairly busy with lots of people. We signed in and then completed the waiver forms and were told to wait.

We took a seat in the waiting area ready to be called. Tea and coffee was supplied free.

Out of the back emerged two gentlemen, they just called out people names and were the taken outside. This part of the experience needs to be improved and explained properly to all participants, as any spectators wanting to watch the rides were left in the waiting area not aware of what was happening :(

The passenger ride participants were taken across the road to the garage where all the cars were. Helmets were fitted and then we were put into the vehicle and taken out on to the track.

The driver introduced himself and we were away, one warmup lap and then one at speed. Whilst it was fun It was over In a flash.

Not convinced that this experience is value for money and would only recommend if you have an enthusiastic teenager that loves cars!

Received a Ferrari Challenge Experience from my husband for my Bday. I was very excited as it was my 1st time driving a Ferrari and on a race track, and was told the instructor was a very experienced driver. Well the instructor was very disengaged during laps letting me stay at a slow pace without giving guidance on taking corners, speeding up on straights, almost only thing he said was “this is your last lap”.
My husband Pre-paid for camera a recording, we watched footage at the counter, and was so disappointed, I didn’t take the USB home - barely went over 100km/h in a Ferrari race car!
Then it got worse;
Employee showing the footage was just as surprised and apologized but nothing more.
As we walked back into reception, the safety briefer asked hi it was, we said not good, he said “oh”, nothing more.
Lady at reception, same conversation.
Emailed Autodrome directly, no response after 3 months.
Very deflated and disappointed for a $1,000 experience!

We had a corporate group at the kart drome... cars are good and track is good quality. However, despite advertising 15 minutes you only get 10 minutes. The slow ‘warm up’ lap at 3:50 mins is included in your time. Ten minutes is very poor value for $30

Visited here a couple of weeks ago. Communicated online and via telephone prior to arrival but paid/booked upon arrival in case we didn’t get time to do it.

This was a great experience. I did the outdoor go-karting with my 13 year old son and then we took a short walk to the indoor track where my 9 year old had a go and though the age limit is 12 for the indoor track, they kindly let my 12 year old (paying for him too, of course) join his younger brother so he didn’t have to do it alone.

Reasonably priced given to Dubai “tax” (similar to UK prices) and one of the best go-karting places I’ve visited so far. Great karts, great track, just overall fantastic. My 13 year old son (who loves F1 and cars) said he felt like a proper racing driver. My 9 year old also was buzzing afterwards.

All equipment (gloves, race suit etc) provided plus a safety briefing first.

A challenging track (lots of turns and a couple of straights)! made this one of the highlights of the trip.

The guy who gave us the briefing was arrogant, lazy, rude and disrespectful. Appears he does not realize that we are paying his salary. He also arrived late.
The price for 7 laps was very high = less value for money.
No feedback at the end. Someone just gives you the certificate wherever finds you.
The car was unstable while breaking and shaking, appears they don’t maintain the break pads.
Very bad experience and will never go again. Not recommended at all. You can rent a top exotic car for 24 hours in the same price of going there for less than 40 min.

Honestly, biggest waste of time ever. Do the go karting but whatever you do don't do the M3/M4 experience, you have a instructor that just keeps telling you to brake, maybe you'll speed in one straight line to about 120mph before guess what? He'll tell u to brake. I understand they want to keep their cars safe & you, but if your paying £300 for a experience, the only experience your going to get here is disappointment. Use that money to hire a M3 in dubai for the whole day. Or anything else, just not in this, believe me

Hello Billy, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. As part of ongoing pursuit to make sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face, such feedback is greatly appreciated for us to be able to improve the experience we provide. We are sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t what you were expecting. Our instructors typically don’t hold our customers back if they sense that they are capable of controlling the car proficiently. One of the most overlooked aspects of driving on a track for novice drivers is the the application of appropriate braking pressure. If our instructors feel that a customer is not applying enough pressure, they must instruct them to apply the brakes harder. We would however would like to hear more specifics from your side in order to look further into it. Please reach out to us at info@dubaiautodrome.com Thanks, Dubai Autodrome Team

I had long seen the Dubai Autodrome from Mohammad Bin Zayed road and wished to see live racing there. I got my wish in January, when I attended the Hankook 24 Hour race here. One could hear the sound of the booming engines from a distance and boy, it took some getting used to!

I sat in the grandstand to take in the action. From there, I had a great view of the start-finish straight, the long pit lane and much of the cicuit. The track has it all: long sweeping curves, straights, elevation and twisty sections to test the racers.

We could go to the parc ferme and see the Formula DXB experience cars. These were beautiful and I could imagine what it could be to actually drive them! There were plenty of food trucks offering snacks for people attending. I had a good experience here and would love to come again!

Did the Renault Clio Cup experience (20 min) and had a blast. I had done a few track days back in the USA but only in normal street cars. Driving a proper race car was a huge step up in excitement and challenge! The Clio had a stick-operated sequential gearbox. I was asked to use the clutch pedal on both up and down shifts, but heel-toe technique was not required. The professional instructor riding with me (Romanian guy named Catalin) was super helpful and patient. It was my first time riding with a coach and I learned a lot from it. I booked a nighttime slot to avoid the sun, but be aware it's very hot in the car anyway (no AC. I wore t-shirt and shorts). The only issue was the car's gauge cluster had a glitch where gear number would not show, so be prepared to count those shifts yourself! Otherwise it was a flawless experience that I can't recommend enough to those dreaming about trying out a real racecar with professional instruction!

I did the Formula DXB Experience and I would definitely recommend it. The cars are fast, very responsive, and a heck of a lot of fun on the track. It's like a mini-F1 or Indy Car experience and your driving skill will definitely play into your experience. In my group, there were a couple of drivers who drove more slowly and just enjoyed the unique experience and then there were a couple of us to pushed it to keep up with the instructor. One of the drivers in my group spun out, but it was inconsequential as the track is pretty wide open. I took a taxi to the Autodrome and I think it was about 20-25 minutes from the convention center area of town (reasonable cost).

Rental karts are poorly maintained and can be a very hard to control , some don’t have brakes that work properly. The sws races are a joke as the karts are picked randomly meaning that if you’re unlucky the leaders are in a different time zone to you by the end of lap 1 . Kartdrome knows about this issue but refuse to give you a refund even if it is proven that your kart was worse because “you just got unlucky” , marshals sometimes give unfair penalties or turn a blind eye to dangerous driving . Kart owner timings are very inconvenient and short with more than half the sessions in the timeframe being taken up by rentals anyways leaving you with 30 min driving time in an hour if you’re lucky.
I’ve been going to this track on a regular basis for over a year now and personally if you want to actually drive and not go around the track at a snails pace or be neck deep in a tire barrier you should look to other places like Sharjah to get your adrenaline pumping.
