Overview of Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit

Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit (YasMarina Circuit) is the venue for the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, located on YasIsland on the east coast of the capital of the Persian Gulf oil powerhouse UAE, just 15 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport. Also, the famous Ferrari theme park is located here.

The unique design of this circuit is not only in the circuit and the surrounding environment, the scale of supporting facilities is also astonishing, including 2200 beds in 7 luxury hotels, and a port that can dock 150 small boats, including those over 60 meters long. The Yas Marina Holiday Hotel has 500 rooms and spans the circuit, overlooking the entire circuit from the room. A 60-meter high solar tower also provides different visual enjoyment for hotel guests.

Obviously, "luxury, comfort, first-class" is the consistent slogan of the Abu Dhabi Organizing Committee. Considering the local weather conditions, the unique oversized hairpin bend grandstand provides humanized service for the audience to avoid direct sunlight in the desert. On the nearly 5.6 km long circuit, spectators can appreciate the high-speed lane ending with the narrow overtaking bend, and can also enjoy the street scenes and seaside paths comparable to Monaco and Valencia, bringing unparalleled viewing experience. In addition, Yas Marina Circuit also has its own racing academy, aiming to train the UAE's own F1 drivers.
