An attraction made in car heaven: the Yas Marina Circuit has been hosting the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2009, making it a regular feature of the Formula 1 calendar. Visitors can take a guided tour of the racetrack on Yas Island by bus, seeing the track, the pit, and the paddock where mechanics go to work. The track also offers a special opportunity for racing enthusiasts: the chance to drive an Aston Martin, Ferrari, or a monocoque F1 car around the track.
