Abu Dhabi Grand Prix



Everything You Need to Know About the event & Traveling to the Middle East

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix سباق جائزة أبوظبي الكبرى‎ is a Formula One motor race. It was first announced in early 2007 at the Abu Dhabi F1 Festival in the United Arab Emirates. The first race took place on 1 November 2009, held at the amazing Hermann Tilke designed Yas Marina Circuit.


The Track Itself is quite stunning



On 25 June 2008 the FIA announced the provisional 2009 Formula One calendar including the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as the 19th and final race of the season on 15 November. On 5 November 2008, however, it was announced that the race would be held as the season finale on 1 November, two weeks before the initially planned date, as the 17th and final race.

The inaugural race was Formula One’s first ever day–night race, starting at 17:00 local time. Floodlights used to illuminate the circuit were switched on from the start of the event to ensure a seamless transition from daylight to darkness. Subsequent Abu Dhabi Grands Prix have also been day–night races.

This year the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2017 celebrates its 9th anniversary, once again with an event attracting hundreds of thousand fans from all around the world. In 2016, the 60,000 capacity Abu Dhabi Formula 1 had the distinction of hosting the F2 and GP3 races as the official supporters during the races, which will continue in 2017.
