Race Track

State of the Art International motor racing facilities brand destinations across the globe and Abu Dhabi is no exception. Designed by Hermann Tilke (known worldwide for race circuits such as Shanghai), the proposal brings together everyone's best experience of international motor sport events at the highest level. The track can accommodate the full spectrum of racing formats, right up to Formula 1. (It is divided into two key sections - a permanent track, for 'everyday' events, and an extended street circuit looping around a spectacular marina to take the circuit length up to F1 requirements.) The venue is overlooked by a hotel and residential development as well as iconic grandstands and corporate lounges.

A full range of pit, paddock lounges and team facilities, uniquely arranged along the marina waterfront brands the Abu Dhabi circuit as a very distinctive place in the world of motor racing. In addition, spectacular stadium sections of track bring spectators very close to the action, delivering a unique electrifying experience. The architecture of the team buildings around the track will take their cue from a reinvention of local vernacular themes from the Emirates adding a stark contrast to the adjacent sleek modern forms of the Marina Hotel and Benoy's Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
