Yas Marina Circuit
Innovation. Beauty. Comfort. Whether a driver, a racing team or a spectator, Yas Marina Circuit has been designed to produce an unforgettable experience, located on Yas Island, a newly developed destination featuring luxury hotels and attractions.
Yas Marina Circuit is the perfect combination of style and function. The Formula 1™ track is 5.55km long. This track can be split in to smaller tracks at 3.1km and 2.4 km each which can operate simultaneously when desired.
Approximately 50,000 spectators can view the action on the circuit from the comfort of permanent, covered grandstands and VIP facilities. Yas Marina Circuit is the only motorsports venue in the world where all of the grandstands are covered.
In fact every seat on the circuit has a very special view. Spectators in the North Grandstand (01) will enjoy an arena atmosphere at the hairpin, while hose in the South Grandstand (02) have one of the greatest panoramas in motorsport, looking out over the 500 room, 5-star The Yas Hotel (03), the Marina itself and the Yacht Club (04). The seating on top of the Support Pit Building (05) will not only allow spectators to see the support race action up close but take in a broad sweep of the circuit including critical turns around the Marina. While everyone at the circuit will feel like a VIP, the 60m solar powered Sun ower (06) is reserved for VVIPs.
Further attractions and developments from 2010 include, the Driving School Building (07), Drag Racing Centre (08), maintenance Building (09), Karting Centre (10) and Business Park (11) will be busy year-round with access via the North Entrance (12).
