Yas Marina Circuit (also called Yas Circuit Iceland ) is a finished in October 2009 permanent race track on Yas Iceland in Abu Dhabi ( United Arab Emirates).

History
Designed by the German racetrack designer Hermann Tilke and Civil race track was originally planned as a temporary course and is 5.554 kilometers long. The length of a lap on the racing line is 5.491 km. She has nine right and left turns eleven and is traversed counterclockwise. The Formula 1 race distance of 55 laps corresponds to a distance of 305.470 kilometers. The projected top speed of the track is specified for the Formula 1 with 320 km / h, the average speed of 198 km / h. The course can be shared for other motorsport events in two separate, independent routes of 3.15 and 2.36 km. A total of 41,000 grandstand seats will be offered.
The FIA announced on 5 November 2008 that the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi on 1 November 2009 would take place. The race is designed to provide a novelty: For the first time a Formula 1 race starts in daylight, continued at dawn and ended under artificial light. It is also unique in that part of the pit lane exit runs underneath the track and threading of the bottom ascending to the main course. This unusual design was chosen so that the extending out of the box cars can thread outside the ideal line and the security is increased.
The track features only on asphalt run-off areas with a total area of 59,100 m². Gravel beds, as they were formerly common, it is not. The common practice of pile of tires as crash cushions have been replaced on this route by new, air-filled plastic barriers. Another novelty is a run-off area, which runs under the bleachers. Vehicles due to driver error, technical failure, or excessive speed must travel on these emergency exit, or " dip " among the spectators sitting there through what to offer for this a more immersive experience of racing. An increased difficulty factor for the motor sport pilots make some so-called "hanging curve " that their line gradient pointing away from the curve apex, which increases the load on the driver and the vehicle lateral acceleration. Usually racetrack curves are constructed similar to a steep banked curve, which allows higher cornering speeds because the superelevation counteracts the centrifugal forces. Was opened, the total investment of 23-24. October 2009 round of the GP2 Series.
The Yas Marina Circuit is structurally dominated by the directly opposite the Yas Hotel.
