Weekend #1 (7-8 February) is headlined by the Asian Le Mans Series, bringing world-class endurance racing to Yas Marina Circuit.

Weekend #2 (20-21 February) closes the festival with a season-defining motorsport finale, as titles are decided and champions are crowned at Emirates Drift Championship!
