Yas Marina Circuit

The Hermann Tilke-designed Formula 1 circuit that hosts the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix every November. The 5.3 km track loops around a marina and under the curved roof of the Yas Hotel, lit at night for the final phase of the race.

Outside race week the circuit is open for driving experiences (single-seater, GT cars, your own car on track days), tours of the pit lane, and cycling on the inner roads on Tuesday evenings. The view from the W Hotel rooftop bar over the start-finish straight is the easiest way to see the track without paying for a ticket.

A story
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the only Formula 1 race scheduled to start in daylight and finish under floodlights. The Yas Hotel that arcs across the main straight changes colour through the race in synchronised lighting.
