Dubai has rapidly established itself as one of the Middle East’s premier motorsport destinations. While the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Season 12 focuses its UAE-region appeal through the broader circuit, Dubai Autodrome in Motor City hosts a packed calendar of racing events throughout 2026 — including the prestigious 24H Dubai endurance race held in January 2026.

For fans of electric racing, Formula E’s Season 12 features 17 races across global circuits. The Gulf region has a long and growing relationship with Formula E, and Dubai-based fans can easily reach nearby Abu Dhabi and Riyadh for Formula E events. The sport’s electric cars deliver surprisingly intense on-track action, and street circuits in particular create close, exciting racing.
