F1 Track test on Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi

A test drive on the Yas Marina circut in Abu Dhabi. The Yas Marina Circuit has been announced as the venue for a Formula One race in 2009, the event to be named the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It will be a newly-built circuit designed by Hermann Tilke, on Yas Island, about 30 minutes from the country's capital Abu Dhabi. Yas Marina will be the second Formula One track in the Middle East, with the first being in Bahrain. A GP2 test race will officially open the circuit, which will be held the week before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It will also host the opening event for the Australian V8 Supercars series in February 18-20 2010.

The Yas island is the site of a US$40 billion development project by Aldar Properties. It occupies a total land area of 2,500 hectares, of which 1,700 hectares will be claimed for development. The island will feature attractions such as a motor sports racetrack which will be used to host the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from 2009 onwards, a movie theme park by Warner Bros called Warner Bros Movie World, hotels, the Ferrari theme park, water park, and the Abu Dhabi destination retail development of 300,000 sq m retail area, links and parkland golf courses, lagoon hotels, marinas, polo clubs, apartments, villas and food and beverage outlets that will create a tourist destination.

hey insulinius, it still hasn't been decided yet, we will see it in November in the race event

[nachopieri]

Although I think this is just another example of new Tilke designed (and boring) track, lets say that probably being new it,s surely very dirty and has no rubber at all on it. For sure it´ll get faster along the weekend as the cars pass by.

Being the pitlane exit the most exiting part of the track just shows how boring it seems to be.

That pitlane looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

How many times do you think Grosjean will crash this weekend?

[mouloudo]

@Blain1971 it's because he's driving slowly

[Blain1971]

It would be nice if the cars in the game f1 2010 had this kind of deep "full" kind of sound.

[LePutaMadre]

This is the single most horrible race track in F1.
