The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is also like no other event since it's held as a day-night race with floodlights used from the start to ensure a seamless transition from daytime to darkness. The spectacular Ferrari World is just a stone's throw from Yas Marina Circuit and is a popular shot for the TV cameras on aerial footage of the track. This unique circuit is based on Yas Island, a popular leisure island and one of the top tourism projects in Abu Dhabi. It also regularly hosts F2 races and the end-of-season young driver tests for Formula 1. Yas Marina is a purpose-built track for the event, designed by Hermann Tilke, running for 3.281 miles and consisting of 16 turns following redesign work prior to the 2021 staging. Since the first ever Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, the Yas Marina Circuit has proudly hosted this annual stop on the Formula 1 calendar.
