YAS MARINA CIRCUIT
ABU DHABI, UAE
Until 2009 a modern and impressive Formula 1 race track, the Yas Marina Circuit, was built on Yas Island about 30 kilometers east of Abu Dhabi’s city center.
The circuit with a length of 5.55 kilometers is composed of 21 turns and a 1.2-kilometer high-speed straight. It can be divided into two sections by shortcuts, allowing various motorsport events to take place simultaneously all year-round. Grandstands and VIP lounges around the circuit offer the possibility to seat 41,000 spectators.
