The story

Kuwait City Motorsports National Holidays Festival in Kuwait Motor Town

Kuwait Motor Town's dedicated drag strip hosts late-night, standing-start roll racing across the National Day and Liberation Day holidays, channeling Kuwait's youthful, horsepower-focused car culture into sanctioned quarter-mile competition with spectator stands and paddock access for close-up viewing between runs, drawing dedicated fans back year after year.

At Kuwait Motor Town, the FIA-graded racing complex south of the capital in Ali Sabah Al-Salem, the national holiday season brings a distinct motorsport program built around roll racing rather than circuit lapping.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The late-night to early-morning drag racing format, run specifically across the National Day and Liberation Day holiday window, gives car enthusiasts a motorsport-specific way to mark the national holidays that is distinct from the fireworks and downtown celebrations elsewhere in the country

02

The mystery stays covered

Hosting it at an FIA-graded facility designed by a Formula One circuit architect brings a level of professional racing infrastructure to what is otherwise a grassroots street-car culture, letting modified performance cars run standing-start races in a controlled, spectator-accessible setting rather than informally on public roads
