Ferrari World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s iconic Ferrari-inspired theme park, has once again raised the bar in entertainment with the grand opening of the world’s first Ferrari-themed Esports Arena. This state-of-the-art facility is set to become the ultimate hub for racing enthusiasts, Formula 1 fans, and adrenaline seekers.
The newly launched Ferrari World Esports Arena features an impressive collection of 20 Gran Turismo simulators, catering to a wide range of visitors. Fourteen of these simulators are designed for adult racers, while six are specially crafted for younger guests, ensuring a family-friendly atmosphere. Additionally, the arena offers three specialized F1 simulators that immerse participants in the experience of driving a Ferrari race car on iconic Grand Prix circuits like the Yas Marina Circuit.
Faisal Al Nuaimi, General Manager of Ferrari World Yas Island, emphasized the uniqueness of the attraction, stating, “It is the first Ferrari-themed Esports arena in the world. No one else has it, and we have ensured that even if someone tries to replicate it, they won’t be able to match the design and architecture we’ve implemented here.”
The arena stays true to the Ferrari ethos, featuring a sleek black and red aesthetic that mirrors the brand’s iconic colors. Equipped with high-performance PCs, professional-grade equipment, and the latest consoles, the arena ensures a seamless and immersive gaming experience for all visitors.
Inclusivity is a key focus at Ferrari World, with the Esports Arena introducing two Gran Turismo simulators specifically designed for people of determination. This initiative reflects the park’s ongoing commitment to creating accessible and enjoyable experiences for all guests, in line with UAE government initiatives.
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., access to the Gran Turismo simulators is included with the theme park ticket until the end of the year, while entry to the exclusive F1 simulators is available at an additional charge starting from AED 60 per race.
The Ferrari World Esports Arena marks a significant addition to the UAE’s burgeoning gaming and Esports scene, reinforcing the country’s status as a premier destination for gaming enthusiasts. As part of the UAE’s broader Esports initiatives, the arena is just one of many exciting developments to come on Yas Island.
