Yas Marina Circuit
About
Designed by renowned track architect Hermann Tilke, the Yas Marina Circuit is one of the most technologically advanced and visually stunning racing venues in the world. Famous as the permanent host of the season-ending Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the track winds gracefully around the mega-yacht moorings of Yas Marina and shoots directly underneath the illuminated, color-shifting glass canopy of the W Abu Dhabi hotel. Beyond global motorsport races, the circuit operates year-round as a community fitness hub, driving academy, and venue for professional driving experiences.
