If that wasn’t enough, City Overdrive will be hosting ‘Drift Planet’, an awesome drifting experience with a professional driver to take you on a spin of a lifetime in the parking area next to The Green Planet for AED 100 per person. In addition, there will also be a remote-controlled boat race taking place by the City Walk fountains for visitors to also battle it out on water. Children can participate in all the fun too at the remote-controlled drift tracks set up in the same location.

Moreover, European Mobile Media Association (EMMA) will host a series of electrifying underground parties in the basement parking of the destination. Think Tokyo Drift, roaring engines, open hoods, gorgeously modified cars and a sound system competition which will all be a part of the coolest underground party in town. There will also be a resident DJ on the decks spinning pumping tunes making both parties something to remember.
