Dubai Autodrome Launches MotoDrome for Off-Road Motorsport Enthusiasts

MotoDrome: A New Hub for Off-Road Riding in Dubai

Dubai Autodrome, a subsidiary of Union Properties, has officially unveiled MotoDrome, a purpose-built off-road motorsport destination aimed at uniting various riding disciplines in a single, structured environment. Located within the venue’s Hill Circuit, MotoDrome is designed to accommodate riders of all skill levels, from novices to seasoned enthusiasts, enhancing Dubai’s reputation as a premier motorsport destination.

At the heart of MotoDrome is a high-quality motocross circuit, which is complemented by a dedicated flow track tailored for smaller bikes and entry-level riders. This expansive facility supports a range of activities, including quads, cross cars, 4×4 activations, and electric dirt bikes, reflecting the increasing demand for diverse off-road experiences in the region.

The facility features a 1.8-kilometre main track and a 1.2-kilometre flow track, designed with three progressive riding levels that enable participants to gradually build their skills and confidence. The incorporation of elevation changes within the tracks aims to provide a more dynamic riding experience, setting MotoDrome apart from existing venues.

Operational Structure and Future Plans

MotoDrome will implement a structured operational approach, segmenting sessions according to rider skill level and vehicle type to ensure a controlled, high-quality experience. Dedicated sessions will cater to bikes, quads, electric bikes, and younger riders, all adhering to the world-class motorsport and health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards for which Dubai Autodrome is known.

Faisal Al Sahlawi, General Manager of Dubai Autodrome, emphasized the significance of MotoDrome, stating, ‘This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Dubai Autodrome. As we expand our offering, our focus remains on creating accessible, structured experiences built around the needs of our community.’ The facility aims to bring multiple off-road experiences together while maintaining the high standards of quality and safety that define the Autodrome.

Initially, MotoDrome will be open to the public with a focus on training programs and open track days. Future plans include a summer night series featuring competitive racing across bike, e-bike, and quad categories, establishing a new platform for off-road motorsport in the UAE. Additionally, future phases may introduce a dedicated dirt go-kart track, further solidifying MotoDrome’s role within Dubai Autodrome’s expanding ecosystem.

Expansion of Dubai Autodrome’s Offerings

The launch of MotoDrome, with its first phase expected to be completed by the end of May, signifies a natural evolution for Dubai Autodrome as it diversifies its offerings beyond traditional circuit racing. The venue is already known for hosting international endurance events such as the Michelin 24H Dubai and the Asian Le Mans Series, alongside a growing calendar of entertainment and community experiences.
