Want to get into Rallycross Racing? This is your chance



Get the goss on what’s to be expected at the FIA World Rallycross Abu Dhabi, and book your tickets to avoid missing out on some spectacular racing fun.


The first rally races were sprints between cars that tried to cover a certain distance in the fastest time. These were held on public roads during times of low traffic density, but they were inconvenient and often, dangerous, for the general public.

Today, Rallycross racing is held on specially prepared indoor surfaces. The race is held over a short distance in controlled conditions, but it requires tremendous dexterity and skill all the same.


How to get started on it?

You may have watched Rallycross racing matches on TV, and now want to try it out for yourself. The first thing to do is to scout for a nearby track where this racing takes place. If you’re in Abu Dhabi, go to the Yas Marina Circuit which has a track and certain days dedicated to the sport. In fact, the FIA World Rallycross Abu Dhabi comes up in April 2019, so you can even participate if you meet the eligibility criteria.


* Understand what the sport is all about. There are several nitty-gritties with Rallycross racing, and not all of them are track-related. You must also know how drivers work in tandem with their teams in the paddocks, what the administrative set-up is like, what the track is composed of and how to race on it, etc.


* Get involved to learn as much as you can. The thing about Rallycross racing is that it has an atmosphere of high camaraderie. If you want to know about the sport, you must know more about the people involved in the behind-the-scenes action. Get involved with a team and help in whatever way you can. The more your association with the team, the more you learn via the work and daily conversation.


* Start driving, but learn from an expert. It is now time to test your mettle as a Rallycross driver. Start slow and get an expert driver or former racer to guide you. Look for test days at the Yas Marina Circuit (the website has a schedule you can follow) before you register for the main race in April. Get all the tips you need before you register, so you can be more confident. If you don’t want to race just yet but just get a feel of things, then you should buy FIA World Rallycross Abu Dhabi tickets.


* Choose your car. In many ways, the car you drive is an extension of your personality, and this is especially true of Rallycross racing. Choose your car carefully so that you can race your best.
