Arrive by ten pm
wear light comfortable clothes you will sweat
bring dry clothese to change into after

pay attention to marshalls - if you are worried about anything ask me or someone in charge
Don't
Drink alcohol before hand

Directions:
The autodrom is situated very close to Arabian ranches just off that horrible roundabout on the emirates road
From beach road take the road that runs paralell straight up from the Burj
Keep going through Al Quoz
Carry on straight until you get to the road with Dubai Land on it you should be able to see the Grand stand straight ahead
at the roundabout (emirates road) where the big space ship etc is
go straight ahead
Take the autodrome entrance 1st on your right
Follow the road straight up and look for signs to the kart drome
