Kuwait Motor Town are starting their 2019/2020 season this coming weekend with an open track experience at the race track! An open track experience is when drivers sign up to race their cars around the circuit for fun and I’m super excited for the new season to start.
The KMT race track opened last year and it was incredibly fun not only racing around our great track but also just meeting other people and hanging out with friends. There are 4 car open track events and a bunch of bike open track and drift events up on their website right now. Since the weather is still pretty hot me and my friends signed up for the later dates (October 25, November 1) which are now showing as sold out. But, there are still spots available for earlier days if you’re interested.
The entry fee for a driver with a car is KD75 (which is really good) and the number of cars is usually limited to around 70 cars per open track day. If you want to find out more or if you’re interested in signing up then visit the KMT website [Here]
Here is also a link to their instagram account which is @kmwkw

Would you need to change your tires after?
Depends on the car and your driving, I’ve done 6 track days (2 in Bahrain and 4 in Kuwait) last year and my Cup 2’s are still fine. I’ve had to change my front brake pads after 5 track days though and now gonna change my rear.
Are there any normal street Stock cars that hit the track?
Majority are street stock cars (tons of Porsche’s for example)
Any restrictions on type of car I can drive there?
No. You could bring a Toyota Corolla and no body can say anything. Albeit you better not get in the way of the faster cars when on track.
No restrictions but they do check your car before going onto the track to make sure it’s street worthy and there are no leaks and it’s not falling apart.
Your tires should not be old, i am not sure of cut off, and the car should have a tow hook
Did you end up buying a HANS device? And just curious what’s ur helmet?
Arai GP-6S helmet and no HANS device
Hi Mark, did you buy your helmet from Kuwait or Online?
also it would be great if you can guide me where to buy an open face helmet ( I don’t know what its called exactly).
I bought mine online since I couldn’t find it locally. If you want to check and see what they have locally check out the Tristar showroom across from Vol1 in Shuwaikh. They’re the Arai dealers.
Are there any tickets for viewers ??
Nope it’s free for viewers to come and watch and there usually is live music and food trucks as well
starting their* 2019/2020 season, not there
oops forgot to edit that
With people getting arrested for using their drones, do you think its ok to take my drone to photograph the event? how easy it is to get a written permission from KMT?
You can’t fly a drone over the track
