History
Yas Marina Circuit opened in 2009 as part of Abu Dhabi’s vision to become a global motorsport destination. Built to host the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the circuit quickly became known for its advanced design and night racing format.
To expand public engagement beyond professional racing, Yas Marina introduced high performance driving and passenger experiences. The Drift Taxi concept was developed to allow visitors to feel extreme motorsport dynamics without requiring driving skills.
Over time, Chevrolet became a featured partner, supplying powerful rear wheel drive cars capable of sustained drifting. Today, the drift taxi experience stands as one of the circuit’s most popular adrenaline attractions.
