Description
The newly opened in 2009, Hermann Tilke designed, 5.6km Yas Marina Circuit is based on the stunning Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
The Yas Marina Marina Circuit is packed with munerous unique and innovative features:
Every one of the 45,000 Grandstand seat is covered – a first for any Formula 1 circuit
The Yas Hotel straddles the track allowing guests to experience the sensation of race cars passing underneath a bridge and between two sections of the hotel
Yas Marina Circuit can be used as two separate tracks
Cars in the pit lane re-enter the circuit via an underground tunnel
Drivers who miss their breaking point at the end of the longest straight in Formula 1™ will traverse a run-off area beneath the West Grandstand
The ancillary facilities include a drag racing strip along the eastern waterfront, as well as technologically advanced go-kart facilities
This is the only facility on the Formula 1™ circuit to feature permanent lighting
The circuit will also feature driving schools, including the first open Ferrari Driving School in the world (open to non-owners of Ferrari cars)
