Dubai-based Dragon Racing, an international racing team, has launched a dedicated professional racing school, the Emirates Motor Racing Academy (EMRA), for speed aficionados of all levels to enjoy.
 
A welcome addition to the region’s motor sporting industry, thrill seekers can choose to have their lessons at one of the UAE’s world-class race circuits - Yas Marina Abu Dhabi, or the Dubai Autodrome where the Dragon Racing team has recently opened its new state-of-the-art headquarters, said a statement from the company.
 
Fully certified by the Automobile and Touring Car Club of United Arab Emirates (ATCUAE), the sole Touring and Sporting representative of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in the country, the coaching sessions take place within the safe environment of Dragon Racing’s adrenaline fuelled track days, it said.
 
EMRA has introduced different levels of accessible, introductory training sessions depending on the driver’s capabilities. Headed by pro racing driver Rob Barff and his multilingual team of international motor racing coaches, students will not only receive first-class specialised coaching but also obtain an ATCUAE Race Licence enabling them to compete in racing events, it added.
 
Once training is complete and students are ready to sit the Race Licence test, they will join a half-day course consisting of a detailed technical lecture; followed by a practical assessment and a multiple choice written examination.
 
Leon Price, chairman and founder of Dragon Racing, said: “EMRA aims to bridge the divide between ‘track day’ drivers and licenced racing drivers, providing a bespoke, professional course delivered in safe, high-end surroundings.”

“We are passionate about racing, and equally passionate about contributing to the growth of the sport in the UAE through our new academy,” he said.

“Whether we’re racing for the chequered flag or delivering an exceptional track day experience, you can count on Dragon Racing to give the best there is,” he added.
 
Renowned for its attention to detail that goes well beyond the track, Dragon Racing prides itself on delivering a seamless, discreet and unparalleled service to meet every individual client’s needs.

Since it was founded in 2011, the company has made a name for itself as a well-established and winning international racing team that brings more than 60 years of motor racing and luxury automotive experience to the track. – TradeArabia News Service
