A high speed, adrenalin filled drive around the 2.4 km south circuit which passes underneath the iconic Yas Viceroy hotel. A real racing car with ultimate grip and downforce from “slick” tyres and big wings. A rare opportunity to complete laps on an F1 racing track. Power from an engine prepared by racing legends Cosworth. Feel like a professional racing driver as you power around the track with lightning quick F1™ style “paddle shift” gear changes. The driving Experience of a lifetime!

Be careful they cancel regularly and refunds take months that’s if your lucky enough to get a refund
they will cancel your booking for no good reason and it takes months to get a refund …..I had this experience booked 6 months in advance I booked a week in Dubai just to come and experience this . I even booked and payed to stay a night in the W hotel right on the race track for the driving experience that day only for yas circuit to cancel my booking 4 days beforehand offering me another date which was a week after I was due to fly home . I was then offered a refund which took 7 weeks to come and only came because I opened a case with Dubai consumers rights they stepped in or else I believe I would never have got that refund . This trip cost me a fortune and it was totally ruined. As you can see by other reviews they do this regularly and not care that you have spent £1000s and flown half way around the world to come to do this . I was absolutely shocked and appalled at this behaviour from such a place .

Beware
I had booked a caterham experience prior to a holiday in Abu Dhabi. Before the holiday the experience was cancelled without much of an explanation. Was offered a refund or for the value to be used against a different experience. Opted for a refund and I am still waiting for the funds to be received 8 weeks later

Interesting but underwhelming
As a motorsport enthusiast and kart racer in the past I had such high hopes for this experience because you don't get the chance to drive a formula 3 car every day.The problems start when the company puts large groups of people with different skillsets behind the same lead car.Out of the 8 total laps I performed, never did I have the chance to push the car. Lap 1 was done in second gear to wait for the car behind me that stalled several times. Lap 2 and 3 were done very slow . In lap 4 we pitted to change the sequence of the cars behind.In laps 5 6 7 8 I was allowed to reach about 70 percent of the cars potential ,running 1.23s. I also didn't like the way the lead car set the pace.Instead of running at a stable pace it entered the corner fast and then nearly stopped at the exit in several occasions. Also it is worth noting that the video you get in the end is not of the full experience but only of the best lap. To sum up,I believe the formula yas driving experience is still a fun activity for motorsport enthusiasts but has to improve in several areas in order to get my 5 star rating.

No directions and terrible customer experience
My daughter did the hot lap experience and absolutely loved it. That's the positive part! Negatives- where are you meant to go?? Being driven my a taxi driver with no knowledge of where we are meant to be dropped off. Literally no instructions and no one at security/around the site knew either. We eventually went into the wrong place and had to be ferried to the right bit. Other reviews have said this but no sign of it being dealt with. Trying to get the video involved waiting for ages, with the man on his WhatsApp instead of listening to our question. Really negative experience unless you're in the car driving!

Why this scores 35
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Abu Dhabi.
How much does Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full cost?
+
Prices start at $514 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Abu Dhabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Abu Dhabi is not rushed.
Is Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 35 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Abu Dhabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Abu Dhabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Abu Dhabi and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Abu Dhabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Abu Dhabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Abu Dhabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Evening Desert Safari BBQ Premium Camp & optional Quad Bike, Abu Dhabi Desert Safari with Camel Ride BBQ Dinner and Live Shows, Desert Safari In Abu Dhabi With BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Abu Dhabi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Abu Dhabi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience _ Full?
+
Across 58 reviews averaging 3.3 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Several reviewers found the schedule tight or the day long.
