The new F1 movie is more than just action and drama—it’s reigniting a global obsession with motorsport. And I am sure you are wondering: “How can I start racing in UAE too?”
The good news? You don’t need a driving license (though you will need a racing license), a million-dollar car, or years of experience to begin. All you need is one step onto the kart track, and that’s exactly how almost every F1 champion started.
Real F1 Drivers Start in Karts—And So Can You
From Lewis Hamilton to Max Verstappen, today’s F1 legends began their journey in karting. It’s where the foundations of racing are built: car control, racecraft, and instinct under pressure.
Karting is fast, physical, and incredibly rewarding—and it’s the best way to start your motorsport journey.
No Experience? No Problem.
Whether you’re 5, 14 or 40, Motorscape’s beginner-friendly programs are built to guide newcomers—step by step.
✅ Race-prepped karts (no rental toys here)
✅ Basic guidance included
✅ Test sessions start from AED 595 for bambinos (5-8 years old) to AED 2,500 for other categories from 8 years and above
What to Expect in Your First Session
You’ll start with a kart testing session, where our team sets you up with:
A race-ready kart
A seat fitting based on your size and build
Off-track guidance
Debriefs and feedback to help you improve
Optional upgrades if you want to practice or race regularly
It’s the safest and most realistic way to experience racing before buying a kart or joining a championship.
But Isn’t Racing Expensive?
That’s one of the most common questions we get—and the short answer is: motorsport has its costs, but it doesn’t have to be out of reach.
At Motorscape, we help you start smart. With test sessions, gear support, and step-by-step guidance, you only invest when you’re ready—whether you’re here for fun or aiming for the podium.
There are accessible options for every level—from casual weekend racers to championship contenders.
