Ferrari World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi celebrated its 15th anniversary on December 3, 2025, in the presence of Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari HP Formula 1 Driver; Ferrari executives including Maria Carla Liuni, Ferrari’s Chief Brand Officer; Julien Kauffmann, CEO of Miral Experiences; tier 1 media outlets; and the park’s dedicated annual pass holders and VIP guests.
The highlight of the evening was the Ferrari HP Esports Series Grand Final 2025, hosted at the Ferrari World Esports Arena for the second consecutive year. Fourteen of the world’s top sim racers from EMEA, APAC and the Americas went head-to-head across three races and three sim titles in an electrifying showcase of virtual motorsport excellence. After an intense and closely fought battle, Grantas Kareckas from Lithuania claimed the championship title. The winner was presented the championship trophy by none other than Leclerc.
Following this ceremony, guests continued the celebrations across the park with a lineup of live DJ performances, musical acts, gourmet food offerings and the fully activated ADGP Fanzone, where fans enjoyed live race screenings, interactive games, challenges for all ages and the electric atmosphere of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (ADGP) weekend.
As excitement for the ADGP reached its peak across Yas Island, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s entertainment carried race-week energy straight into the park. The evening concluded with a finale illuminating the skyline in Ferrari’s signature red, enhanced by live performances and a drone show tracing Ferrari silhouettes across the night sky.
