Ghibli Raceway: FORMULA TO STRIVE
| Ghibli Raceway, pioneering provider of international motor sport to the
Middle East, takes its name from a North African wind originating from
the Atlas Mountains. This wind parallels in force to the intense power
and extreme speed found at Sharm El Sheikh's premier karting facility.
Located amongst some of the Red Sea's most exclusive hotels and
resorts, Ghibli Raceway's “Formula to Strive” inspires a diverse
demographic to come and experience an adrenaline packed driving
experience. |

Formula for driver development – LIVE THE F1 EXPERIENCE
Ghibli Raceway has gained the confidence of the leading specialist manufacturers of Karting equipment from the racing world with an eye for the future of the sport. In May, 2002 Ghibli Raceway signed an agreement with Rotax-Bombardier of Austria the leading engine manufacturer for professional karting as the sole Authorised Distributor for Karting products in Egypt. In June, 2003 an agreement was reached with the leading professional racing chassis manufacturer, CRG of Italy.
Since 1983 BOMBARDIER-ROTAX have been developing and anufacturing high performance engines solely for kart racing applications. Consistent innovation and continuous evolution and developments of its products has made Rotax a regular World and European championship winner in the various racing classes of the CIK.
In 1997, Rotax introduced a new family of engines for a new market segment, that of sport recreational karting. This was effectively a cross between high performance racing engines, which by nature were high maintenance and leisure kart engines which were more user friendly, creating the FR 125 MAX family of engines which had amongst it’s features high performance, new levels of reliability, reduced noise and exhaust gas emissions.
In 2002 Rotax launched a new and patented engine concept, the “Direct Drive” for karts along with a contemporarily developed innovative kart, the RM1, in one comprehensively designed package a new milestone in the contemporary history of karting was set.
Our Sharm facility has five principal challenging circuits and a stable of karts to suit drivers with different capabilities.

Karting is attractive to leisure seekers and motor sport enthusiasts
not only for its relatively low cost, but because of the sheer
excitement of pushing one’s adrenaline to the new levels. Ghibli also
provides the opportunity for the professional drivers interested in
owning a kart with storage and in having professional training or
practice sessions. | 
 |
Safety of the highest standards
The
highest priority at Ghibli Raceway is driver safety. Ghibli has an
impeccable safety record observing UK Motor Sports Association (MSA)
standards firmly at all times. All the drivers are to receive a driver
and kart briefing, driving overalls, gloves, a balaclava and helmet. In
the unlikely case of an emergency our Track Marshals trained in the 1st
aid assistance are located at the track. During all races and events,
a Race Controller is located in the central Control Tower overlooking
the track and monitors controlling the progress of the entire operation
inclusive of timing equipment and electronic marshals. As the last
resort stray or wayward, drivers who are not following Ghibli’s
obligatory safety standards and therefore represent potential danger to
themselves and other participating drivers can have power cut off from
their kart remotely. For safety reasons, children are sectioned off
from the adult racers in their own individual Cadet track that can and
is run independently from the regular Arrive & Drive and National
tracks. Birthdays and special events can be organised to cater for
their own particular requirements.
