Visitors to Yas Marina Circuit this weekend are unlikely to be bored. Not only will they be able to witness what will be an electrifying climax to the F1 season, with the winner of the drivers’ championship being decided right here in Abu Dhabi, but there will also be a vast array of activities and entertainment going on throughout the three day event.
Spectators will be able to try out a new go-karting track, see concerts by world famous artists, enjoy thrilling support races from GP2 and Porsche racing cars and take part in break dancing and skateboarding workshops. Visitors can also expect bungee trampolines, nail art stations and a climbing wall.
