About Kuwait Motor Town
Overview
Kuwait Motor Town is a motorsport complex in Ahmadi Governorate, beside King Fahad Road more than 50 km south of Kuwait City and about half an hour's drive from Kuwait International Airport. It opened on 28 March 2019 and was the first circuit in Kuwait to receive FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A licences. The site holds seven tracks in all and is used for circuit racing, drag racing, karting, motocross, rallying and dune racing, as well as track days, local races and testing.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The main circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke in early 2017. The full Grand Prix circuit measures 5,609 m and has 20 corners. Several shorter circuits can be formed from it, including a North circuit of 2,740 m. KCC Engineering and Contracting Company was the main contractor, and the track surface was laid by the Arizona National Company using Trimble machine control technology. Construction took about 14 months.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The grandstands seat around 8,000 spectators, more than 750 of them in VIP seating. The paddock has 32 pit garages and media areas, and parking takes about 3,300 vehicles. Beyond the road course, the complex includes facilities for drag racing, karting and motocross, as well as areas for rallying and dune racing. The project was conceived as a wider leisure complex, with hotels, driver training centres, restaurants and a shopping centre forming later phases.
History
The complex was built under a master plan of the Kuwait International Automobile Club at a cost of 49 million Kuwaiti dinars, about 162 million US dollars. Ground was broken in 2017 and construction was completed in December 2018. The first event, on 28 March 2019, was the opening round of that year's Middle East Rally Championship. The first international circuit racing series to visit was the 24H Series, which held the 12 Hours of Kuwait from 2 December 2022 and returned in 2023. In 2023 the circuit also hosted the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and the Formula 4 UAE Championship, the Saudi Arabian Formula 4 championship came in 2024, and the Radical Cup Kuwait ran here in 2023 and 2024. On the Grand Prix circuit Joshua Dufek set a lap record of 1:47.600 in a Formula Regional car in 2023, and Zdeno Mikulasko lapped in 1:52.062 in a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 in 2022.
