ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Al Forsan International Sports Resort has launched the Karting Academy, an initiative aimed at developing young driver’s skills, discipline, and passion for karting through a structured, progressive curriculum.
Participants will receive both theoretical and practical training in karting fundamentals, advanced techniques, and race preparation, along with instruction on safety and sportsmanship.
The academy will launch on January 14, 2025, featuring three skill levels from beginners to advanced racers. Level F3 (Beginner) will begin on 14 January, Level F2 (Intermediate) will begin on 15 January, and Level F1 (Pro) will begin on 16 January.
Training will include practical driving and off-track mechanical lessons tailored to the level of the participants. The training will take place on Abu Dhabi’s only FIA certified karting track at Al Forsan International Sports Resort.
The FIA certification not only ensures the highest global standards for karting but also positions the track as a prime venue for hosting international karting events, supporting Abu Dhabi’s growth as a global motorsport hub, and providing opportunities for motorsport enthusiasts to experience karting at a world-class level, whether as participants or spectators.
Successful participants will receive certification from Al Forsan International Sports Resort.
His Excellency Tareq Abdulraheem Al Hosani Vice Chairman of Al Forsan Group, said: “We are committed to developing young drivers by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and confidence on the track, while instilling the core values of safety and discipline essential for success.
"Our FIA-certified track not only provides participants with access to a globally recognised standard, but also enables us to host international karting events, bringing the motorsport community closer to Abu Dhabi. Whether participants aspire to join the Karting Academy or seek the thrill of karting on an internationally approved track, we offer an unparalleled motorsport experience for everyone.“
