History

The United Arab Emirates joined the Formula One calendar in 2009, with the race taking place in the capital city, Abu Dhabi. A new circuit means state-of-the-art facilties and a track designed by F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke. The track features a Monaco-style harbour front section using public roads, and another section similar to the Eau Rouge corner of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The circuit has three grandstand areas and part of its pit lane exit runs underneath the track. A sight to behold in its brilliance and modern style, UAE sets the benchmark for modern-day F1 tracks.

However, once there the best way to get to the circuit is via taxi. These can be flagged down on the roadside and most drivers speak English.
