Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi is a motorsport race in the Formula 1 He has been held since 2009 at the Yas Marina Circuit, the first race was on November 1, 2009.
The course was designed by the architect Hermann Tilke Aachen. Unlike many other planned architecture of this office courses, which have been sometimes criticized for its sterile atmosphere (for example, Sepang, Shanghai and Manama ), the price of Abu Dhabi is not equal spectacular.
He is guided partially close an artificial harbor and remembers the past in boats on the harbor passage of the street circuit of Monaco.
Furthermore, spectacular and a worldwide novelty is the pit exit, which passes through a tunnel under the outlet zone the first corner. It opens in the beginning of the following passage, which corresponds to the curve radii of the Eau Rouge the course of Spa-Francorchamps, but without exhibiting comparable height differences.
The start and finish line is relatively short, Turn 1 is tight, therefore offers little overtaking. Most overtaking maneuvers are to be expected at the end of the longest line of the current GP calendar ( 2010) between North and South Grandstand. The following slightly curved full throttle passage opens into a similarly good overtaking, but is much shorter.
As a further innovation, the route goes through under a bridge-like part of the Yas hotel. This reminds again due to the illumination of its external facade of the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The GP of Abu Dhabi is due to visit a park and ride system. Admission tickets for the GP Weekend 2009 also authorized to attend concerts among others by Aerosmith and Beyoncé Knowles, which took place in close proximity to the GP circuit before the Ferrari World.
