4PROS test day

Yas Marina Circuit

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates · 5.281 km · 16 corners

The Formula 1 finale in the Gulf

Keep testing once the race is over.

Yas Marina Circuit is located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The circuit opened in 2009 and hosts the Formula 1 season finale every year, which starts at dusk under floodlights.

Since its redesign in 2021, the circuit measures 5.281 kilometres with 16 corners: long straights, heavy braking zones and a technical section around the hotel, under which the track passes. Our 4PROS+ test follows directly on from the Asian Le Mans Series – teams that are already on site can keep testing without any further shipping.
