The final round of the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship will take place in Abu Dhabi at the newly constructed Yas Marina circuit 30km from the city limits. It’s the second time this year the series has visited the Middle Eastern Gulf region, but the first time ever in Abu Dhabi.
The venue will be one of the most modern ever seen in F1. Built on a man-made island, the track passes through a marina area lined with state of the art housing and administrative buildings and even a theme park and a water park. The circuit’s own construction is cutting-edge as it passes through a hotel lobby via a clear tunnel and the pit lane exit passes underground via a passageway. Although the world championship was decided in Brazil, the atmosphere at the track should still be electric as the UAE will be sure to put on a big show as it welcomes F1 for the first time.
