About Yas Marina Circuit
Yas Marina Circuit is one of the most modern and visually striking motorsport venues in the world, located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Officially opened in 2009, the circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke and is best known as the long standing host of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, traditionally the season ending race. The 5.281 km (3.281 miles) layout features 21 corners and a mix of high speed straights, heavy-braking zones and technical low speed sections. Key landmarks include the North Grandstand Hairpin, the Marina Section, the West Curve, and the dramatic run underneath the Yas Viceroy Hotel. The circuit is fully floodlit, allowing for iconic twilight-to-night racing. Beyond Formula 1, Yas Marina hosts international GT racing, endurance events, touring cars, driver training programmes, manufacturer launches and a very busy calendar of public car and motorcycle track days. It is one of the most active circuits in the Middle East for both professional and amateur motorsport. With its waterfront setting, luxury infrastructure and constant global exposure, Yas Marina Circuit is a premier destination for drivers, teams, fans and motorsport photographers.
