Circuit Overview
The Yas Marina Circuit is a renowned racing circuit located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was specifically designed for Formula One racing and is known for its lavish facilities and stunning architecture. With a reported cost of $1 billion, it is believed to be the most expensive circuit ever built.
Initially, the circuit faced criticism from drivers and fans due to its lack of overtaking opportunities and stop-start sections. However, in 2021, the circuit underwent a reconfiguration aimed at addressing these concerns. The redesign focused on creating a more flowing layout and eliminating some of the challenging sections. One notable addition is the introduction of a sweeping banked corner at the southern end of the circuit.
In addition to hosting Formula One races, the Yas Marina Circuit has also been a venue for other prestigious motorsport events. It has hosted rounds of the short-lived FIA GT1 World Series, as well as the GP2 Asia and GP2 Series. The circuit has also welcomed overseas rounds of the V8 Supercar Championships, attracting racing enthusiasts from around the world.
In 2012, the Yas Marina Circuit introduced a 12 Hour race for GT and sports cars. This endurance race has become a popular event, showcasing the capabilities of these vehicles and providing thrilling competition for spectators.
Overall, the Yas Marina Circuit stands as a testament to the grandeur and extravagance of the racing industry. Its opulent facilities and stunning design make it a truly remarkable venue for motorsport events. With the recent reconfiguration aimed at enhancing the racing experience, the circuit continues to evolve and attract racing enthusiasts from all corners of the globe.
