Kuwait’s First Drift Track – Auto Test
This Friday a drift track will be officially opening up in Kuwait called Auto Test. The track is located off the 6th Ring Road and will be open every Friday for anyone interested in either drifting or just making donuts. Later on things will be more organized and competitions (dirft/autocross/auto-x) will be held there. For now anyone one can go and have fun, all you need is a car and a driving license. There are also places for spectators to sit and watch the action. Here is how you find the place:
Take the 6th Ring Road towards Dajeej Area past 360 Mall and then take the right exit that takes you to Dajeej. The road will turn and you should then be passing under the 6th Ring Road heading towards Dajeej. Don’t exit to the main road, stay on your right and head back onto the 6th as if you’re heading towards Messila. Stay on the right side and continue ahead. You should then see the exit to the Airport and as soon as do take the exit. You should see a dirt road on your right, go on the dirt road and continue straight ahead until you see a bunch of small hills and dirt. That’s where all the tracks are (rally/motocross/karting/ATV and drift tracks).
The official website for the track is www.q8racing.com. At the moment you can see the Auto Test logo on the bottom right but the link isn’t clickable. I am guessing the section will be open once the track opens this weekend.
Thanks Othman!
I honestly wouldn’t take a race car to that spot, you have to take a dirt road to get there?
At least its something to start, its sad that this sport has very little support when its all they do on the streets!
I bet it will be packed with 3aged!…although its a good start to keep them off the streets drifting by my house every time it rains!
must…. watch…. DRIFTING!!!
time to burn some rubber !!
the tiers on my hemi are a bit old ,, gonna change them anyway ,, so why throw them when u can have fun with them (6)
Ayshay. Ayshay. Ayshay. Awesome!
il7een mo ashoofkum 3ala kha6 il wafra……… 3afya 3ala lshe6aaar!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee
One small step for man… one giant leap for getting the roadrage off the road.
… think I’ll go buy stock in tires…
Its about time. This sport has been organized in other countries (like Qatar) for years.
It appears that there are low concrete barriers between spectator stands and the asphalt. Are they anchored? Hmmmmmm….. Crash test rating?
Gps cordinates pls

does it have an entry fee?
let’s hope for something real good
