The GPKingdom team visited the Yas Marina Circuit Tour, the guided tour of the Abu Dhabi track: here\u2019s our review!<\/h2>\n\n

Started in May 2007 and completed in October 2009, Yas Marina Circuit<\/strong> has become a staple on the Formula 1 calendar, marking the final race before the winter break. As such, it has often been the stage for legendary title battles: from 2010 to 2016, and most recently the historic 2021 clash between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The Yas Marina Circuit Tour Experience: Our Review<\/h2>\n\n

Among the many experiences the track offers is a guided tour of the facility<\/strong>: starting from Yas Central, the building located before Turn 5, you can enjoy an immersive experience in the modern Emirati circuit<\/strong>, which was modified in the summer of 2021 to facilitate overtaking and increase average speed.<\/p>\n\n

The itinerary begins at Turn 5<\/strong>, the site of the 2021 showdown<\/a>: here you can first see initiatives related to the F1 School, then head to the grandstands for a view of the entire 1.1-kilometer straight. All transfers are made by bus, so there\u2019s no need for long walks. <\/p>\n\n

Moving on, the second stop is the paddock<\/strong>, where the bus will pause for an extended stop. Here, the guide will first show you the so-called \u201cvillas\u201d,<\/strong> thirteen small houses built for the teams to use as hospitality areas behind the garages.<\/p>\n\n

After a short walk through the area coveted by fans during race weekends, it\u2019s time to dive into the heart of the experience<\/strong>: in sequence, you\u2019ll visit the Briefing Room<\/strong>, the Cooldown Room<\/strong>, and especially the brand-new podium area<\/strong>, with the chance to stand on the top step and celebrate as if you were a Formula 1 champion.<\/p>\n\n

After the podium, it\u2019s time to hit the track: a track walk on the main straight<\/strong> allows you to walk where the world\u2019s twenty fastest cars launch at the lights, with the opportunity to snap photos right in the middle of the track.<\/p>\n\n

To finish, the bus you\u2019ve been touring in will take you for a complete lap of the circuit<\/strong>, covering all 16 turns of the new layout.<\/p>\n\n

The Yas Marina Circuit Tour Experience: Is It Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n

The price isn\u2019t exactly cheap: the tour starts from 159 AED<\/strong> (just over 40 euros), excluding any track tests or kart races on the circuit\u2019s go-kart track outside Yas Central (CLICK HERE to purchase tour tickets<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

However, if you\u2019re a motorsport enthusiast visiting the United Arab Emirates, this is definitely a unique experience<\/strong>. Abu Dhabi is already a key part of Formula 1 history and is set to witness more thrilling world title battles in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n
