The Dubai Autodrome International Circuit is a 3.34-mile (5.37-km) racetrack inside one of the largest entertainment complexes in the world: Dubailand, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The autodrome has four different configurations for racing, two of them with FIA Grade 1 licenses and a kartdrome for go-karting competitions. The Asian Le Mans Series and the Formula Regional Asian Championship are two of the regular motorsport events held at the Dubai Autodrome. There are only two seasons in Dubai: the super hot and rainless summer and the mild winter with occasional downpours. The excruciating heat and humidity of the desert summer make racing at night the best option during that season.
The trajectory of the Grand Prix Course in the Dubai Autodrome International Circuit runs through 16 corners surrounded by ample asphalt runoffs that increase the racetrack's safety. Races start/finish in the autodrome's front straight, where top racecars can reach 200 km/h (124 mph). The first corner is a fast-paced right-hander followed by a slight bend to the left in turn two. The road course snakes from turns three to six, leading drivers into a heavy downshifting spot at corner seven's entry. A pair of left-handers get drivers in the back straight and from there, into the challenging six corners remaining. Turns ten to twelve are supertight and require heavy steering to avoid the curbs, and the sweeping corner 13 sees racers flying at 190 km/h (118 mph). The uphill corner number 14 has the shortest radius in Dubai Autodrome, and after that, racers go downhill through 15 and 16 to re-enter the front straight with the finish line on sight.
