Yas Marina Circuit is re-opening in phases and a number of activities, including Karting, OpenYAS track days, and some health and fitness activities are already available, in line with Government directives.
Keeping the well-being of both staff and customers, a number of measures have been introduced. These include a completely contactless journey with online-only bookings for all activities, temperature check and hand sanitizer stationsalong with disposable gloves and balaclavas. Signage and floor markings are in place to remind and guide visitors on social distancing rules while customer flow-paths have been assigned to ensure guests do not cross paths during the activity journey.
From Monday the 15th of June, Yas Kartzone has been open to drivers of age 13 years and above, who must either bring their own equipment – helmets, race suits, balaclavas and gloves – or purchase them on site. Drivers will not be permitted to share the accessories or karts. The kart itself can be hired from the venue.
A favourite with amateur and professional karting enthusiasts, Yas Kartzone offers a 1km track filled with twists and turns. With safety measures in place, a journey back to the finish line could be a great way to have some outdoor fun this summer.
