Abu Dhabi Gran Prix: Yas Marina circuit preview and drivers' conference

Thur Oct 29, 2009

The Yas Marina for this Sunday's inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix now leads the way ahead of previous architectural spectacles for motor racing.

The circuit "facility" features not only the race-track, but a majestic hotel complex, a marina, a special Ferrari world shopping centre and grounds irrigated by an automatic underground sprinkler system.

The track itself has the many specific characteristics that make it the most advanced and spectacular in the world and set new standards for Formula One, even in an age of ever-more-dramatic circuits.

We bring you high-res photos of the track and the drivers' conference. Enjoy the sights!
