Yas Marina Circuit Passenger Ride in Radical SST

Youngest teen (14) did this as a treat on our last night in Abu Dhabi and loved it. For us watching it is worth mentioning that with the doors open it is VERY hot - perhaps the operators should think of a way to have a viewing area where the a/c can keep the room comfortable as it made it very hard for us to enjoy, but as for the experience itself for the passenger, very good!

Had a great experience with these guys. They are friendly, helpful, knowledgable and want you to have a good time. Big thanks to Phil who took time out to look after us. Well worth a visit!!

As we were staying on Yas Island, across from the race track I had a look on Yas Marina Circuit to see if they had any tours that we could do and I came across the different experiences.I booked the SST passenger experience for my boyfriend as a surprise. It cost £97 and it was amazing.We were staying on Yas Island but didn’t know where exactly to go so we got a taxi which took us right to the door. I didn’t want to be late but Yas Island have an amazing free bus service that takes you all over and one of the stops is Yas Central where we needed to be.You enter the Yas Marina Circuit via gate 20, and as you drive through to Yas Circuit I was completely excited (it was for my boyfriend the experience). You see things that you see on the TV and I was completely blown away.When you arrive, you check in and the person who is doing the experience goes upstairs and put a boiler suit on, of whatever you call them. The cars are waiting depending on the experience that you are doing.The guys put a helmet on him and strapped him right in the car. They went to the traffic lights which were on red, and when they changed to green, they set off and it was like watching the Grand Prix. Even though I was just spectating it was just amazing.He was going round the track for about 15 mins. When he got back to where he started he was absolutely speechless. All he could say was that it was unbelievable.They then email you the video that they take of the experience. It gets sent to you via vemio and it’s great. Only thing is, I don’t know how to save it to my device.We were only there an hour and a quarter and it was the highlight of my holiday.
