If you’re chasing the buzz around racing in Israel, you’re in the right spot. From street circuits in Tel‑Aviv to rally stages in the Negev, the country’s motorsport scene is buzzing with action. Below you’ll find the races you can watch, the drivers you should know, and how to catch the excitement live or online.
Israel’s calendar packs a punch. The Tel‑Aviv Grand Prix has become a weekend staple, drawing F1‑spec cars onto a temporary city track that winds past the seaside promenade. If you prefer off‑road thrills, the Negev Rally tests drivers on desert dunes and rocky trails – perfect for fans of Dakar‑style racing.
Don’t miss the Jerusalem Speedway Meet in late spring. It’s a mix of touring cars, GTs and a few local formula machines. The event’s tight corners and historic backdrop make for great photo ops and intense battles for podium spots.
Israel is producing talent that’s catching eyes abroad. Yossi Ben‑Levy, a 22‑year‑old who just topped the national formula series, is already getting test drives with a European junior team. Meanwhile, rally ace Leah Cohen broke the women’s record at the Negev Rally, finishing in the top five overall.
These drivers are not just names – they bring fresh energy to the sport and often share behind‑the‑scenes clips on social media. Follow them for training tips, car set‑ups and candid moments from the paddock.
For fans who can’t make it to the track, most events stream live on local sports channels and YouTube. The Tel‑Aviv Grand Prix offers a free live feed with multiple camera angles, while the Negev Rally streams a highlight reel each evening.
Ticket prices stay affordable: a standard pass for the Grand Prix starts at 150 ₪, and the rally offers a family package at 300 ₪. Early‑bird discounts are common, so grab yours as soon as they drop.
Whether you’re a die‑hard gearhead or just curious about what’s revving in Israel, the scene is growing fast. Keep checking back for updated race dates, driver interviews, and how you can join the community on forums and fan meet‑ups.
