What’s up at the Yas Marina Circuit this November?

A lot, apparently. While everybody’s fixated on the F1® Grand Prix, there’s so much more happening on the side – read on to know more!

Abu Dhabi is home to many tourist wonders. It is no surprise that travellers from around the world make a pit stop in Abu Dhabi when they are in the Middle East. A global city with international aspirations, it is the jewel of the UAE and home to all that is grand and opulent.

And it pulls out all the stops not just for tourists, art and history lovers, but also racing car enthusiasts at the end of the year. That’s when the F1® Grand Prix concludes its season with the last race at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit. Located at the spectacular Yas Island, the race is a dream event for any person interested in motorsport racing.

But the F1® Grand Prix is not the only event of note to take place at the Yas Marina Circuit. There is an entire calendar of Yas Marina Circuit Events 2018 at the Circuit, and everyone’s invited to participate.
