Fans can expect an action-packed event full of speed, height, and adrenaline at Etihad Arena this Saturday
As the world’s best supercross riders descend on Yas Island for the FIM World Supercross Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this Saturday, 4 November, Etihad Arena is set to undergo its transformation into a supercross track for the first time ever.
7,000 tonnes of dirt, which has been locally sourced in the UAE, will be trucked into the Middle East’s largest indoor entertainment venue via 400 truckloads for a night of adrenaline and thrills.
WSX tracks are designed to deliver high quality racing, and allow opportunities for the riders to go faster, push harder, and deliver a high level of excitement and competitiveness for fans.
WSX is not for the faint hearted, with heavy bikes, high speeds, big jumps, and tight turns all setting the scene as the riders battle it out for the win.

The sheer scale of Etihad Arena’s transformation will be a sight to behold. The entire process, from turning a clean venue into a finished racing track, will take approximately four days, involving 16 different forms of earth moving machinery such as excavators, dozers, and street sweepers.
The dirt used is clay-based, carefully selected to adhere to safety regulation while providing the ideal composition for the supercross track.
Witness the world’s top riders battle it out on a track that promises nothing short of jaw-dropping action and excitement. Limited WSX Abu Dhabi GP tickets are still available, starting at just AED 110 for the day.
