Kuwait Motor Town, Motorsport racing track in Al Ahmadi Governorate, Kuwait
Kuwait Motor Town is a 5.609 km racing circuit in Ali Sabah Al Salem, Al Ahmadi Governorate, 56 km south of Kuwait City. The Hermann Tilke design, built by KCC Engineering and Contracting Company, has a main layout holding FIA Grade One and FIM Grade A licences, so cars and motorcycles race on the same asphalt.
The racing track was designed by German architect Hermann Tilke and opened in early 2019. It was built by KCC Engineering and marked the first project of its kind in the country.
The circuit's first event was the opening round of the 2019 Middle East Rally Championship on 28 March 2019, the day it was inaugurated. Its first international series race was the 12 Hours of Kuwait, part of the 24H Series, held on 2 December 2022. In 2023 it hosted the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and the Formula 4 UAE Championship, and in 2024 the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship.
The facility has grandstands for several thousand spectators and is set up for international motorsport events. Visitors will find infrastructure for different racing series that can take place throughout the year.
The site holds both an FIA Grade One license and an FIM Grade A certification, making it one of the few places in the region with this dual accreditation. This rating allows championship races for both cars and motorcycles at the highest international level.
