Abu Dhabi Gets Formula One Race For 2009

February 3rd, 2007

Bernie Ecclestone has signed a deal giving Abu Dhabi a grand Prix in 2009. The track will be designed by formula one track designer Hermann Tilke.

The track will be located on Yas Island off the east coast of Abu Dhabi in close proximity to the Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The track will be a 5.6km circuit with high speed sections, a street section and a trip through a marina. More information is available at the official web site for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

    Another Tilke track design. Many have complained about his designs, but if he’s learned anything from his previous work and has listened to the criticisms, this could be his best track yet.

    Personally, I think Turkey is a great track, as is Malaysia. At least on my F1 simulator!
