Alone on the «Formula 1». Abu Dhabi

For teams are built 40 boxes, with good air conditioning. The motto of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix — luxurious amenities and excellent performance. An interesting feature is part of the exit of the pit lane, which runs under the roadway runs in a special tunnel. Behind the headquarters teams, telecentre, drag strip, a tower for VIP-persons.
It is said that according to estimates at the time of construction of the track length is 5,555 km, which is not surprising, because the number 5 in the Islamic world is happy, but after commissioning mysteriously «lost» 1 meter.

On the track of the Yas Marina Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was held 7 times between 2009 and 2015. Most big-name driver Abu Dhabi Grand Prix — Sebastian Vettel, he was raised here three times on the highest step of the podium — in 2009, 2010 and 2013. In addition to the Grand Prix, «Formula 1», the route takes «Formula 3000» motorcycle racing, all kinds of competitions in drifting, drag racing, road racing kart and even the Tour of Abu Dhabi.

To get from the city to the Yas Marina Circuit is easiest by taxi. Taxi — it is generally a very common form of transport in the UAE, left the hotel, waved his hand, and now comfortable conditioned car carries you to your destination. Another option — the buses, in 2015 in the days of the «Formula 1» from Abu Dhabi to Yas Island can be reached by bus number 170, 180, 190, 195, 200, 201, 202, 203, 300, 302 and 304 for updating information on the 2016 best track directly in November, before the trip.

As an option — to live in a hotel right on the track Yas Marina, the five-star Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi. Then you can see the «Formula 1», right out of the hotel and the F1 team has stopped here, and the chance to see the pilots, for example, at breakfast, very large. If you have the spirit, you will be able to approach them and talk, get autographs. Why not? Another option of accommodation — hotels directly on the Yas Island, which will have a budget option compared to Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi. In any case, Deals Yas Viceroy, Yas Plaza and Yas Central, as well as buildings of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Waterworld to the highway can be reached with a free shuttle.
At the entrance to the race track — a strict check. You pass through a metal detector, it included not only can not carry liquids in glass containers, and even the normal drinking water in conventional plastic bottles, forced to put her. But already in the territory of an airport, right after the entrance, drinking water will be available free of charge! If one of your things seem suspicious protection — check everything thoroughly. For example, one girl from our company made a present to his idol-pilot «Formula 1» embroidered cross-stitch portrait (quite impressive size), and he, along with the gift box is very confused guard, that kept us all on the checkpoint.

So, we are on the Yas Marina circuit. This race track is notable for including the fact that all grandstand here with roofs. Tickets are on sale package offer: two or three days of racing. At this price, of course, one of the most expensive Grand Prix race at the exact price in 2016 has not yet been announced. What do you get for your money? Walk through the pit lane, autograph session,

the opportunity to see an extensive program of support races,

visit the various thematic stands scattered around the autodrome and have fun in the areas of animation.

Here dregovymi stand with cars,

here presented sports cars that can be rented and independently ride on the track (in the days before or after the F1), but the whole Ferrari car parking.

Masters of mehndi (or, as they are called, mehendi) you will draw on their hands with henna paintings patterns, and then the whole turn... for manicure masters, which may represent the nails, for example, the Ferrari logo! The main thing is fascinated by everything happening around the stands, get back to their seats to the top races, the race track is really huge and all to see, it will take a lot of time.

At the weekend, the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi in the evening after the races are traditionally held concerts, entrance to which is included in the price of tickets. The concert in the open air site is about Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, in walking distance from the race track. There are always the stars of world size, but be careful to check the input items for the presence of a photo or video cameras. If any, you will find it is deployed and sent to the storage chamber, which is not individual cells with keys or a personal code, as you might think, and a few tables on which employees are folded in a row all the equipment, issuing instead a piece of paper with number! Very questionable safety, but it seems to work. By the way, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi — the world's first theme park dedicated to the Ferrari, and it is certainly worth a visit. But about it — in our next article.
