This point-of-view video shows what it’s like to take part in one of track evenings held at Dubai Autodrome.
The track evenings (and days) allow drivers to test the performance of their vehicles in a controlled environment (marshals, ambulances, and safety vehicles are available).
The sessions are not timed and are non-competitive. Cars/motorcycles must be roadworthy and drivers must have a current driving licence (and wear a helmet – they are available for hire).
The Dubai Autodrome is located at MotorCity in Dubailand.
On May 9 2009 the Dubai Mall was officially opened by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
The highlight of the opening ceremony was the unveiling of the Dubai Fountain.

The impressive stadium opened on April 22 2009 with a one day international game between Australia and Pakistan.
The purpose-built cricket stadium has a capacity of 25,000 and is circular, ensuring that every seat has an equally excellent view of the action. Also note the floodlights are positioned on the edge of the roof (built more for shade than protection from rain).
The stadium was designed by German architects Gerkan, Marg and Partner.
Other stadia at Dubai Sports City are currently under construction:
• 60,000 seat multi-purpose outdoor stadium
• 10,000 seat multi-purpose indoor stadium
• 5,000 seat field hockey stadium
