Yas Marina Circuit – Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2009
Well, this is going to have to be a very quick post!
I’m at the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. This place was a desert two years ago! Tomorrow the whole site goes live as it plays host to it’s first event – The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2009!
It is a truely spectacular place. Just try and watch a bit on Sunday and you’ll see how amazing this place is.
I’m working as a supervisor looking after a hospitality suite on the 2nd floor of the North Grandstand (Suite N20). The glass walls look out across the hairpin bend. My suite has perfect views of the cars as they slow right down to come into the bend (watch out for the huge Shell logo). If the drivers weren’t wearing helmets, I’d be able to clearly see their faces, I’m that close!
This for me is a truely amazing experience, and to be here in this brilliant place on it’s first event, and with that event being the last Grand Prix of the season, this truly is awesome!
Yas Island also has Ferrari World, a massive theme park, and concert venue. My suite has a balcony overlooking the stage. Beyonce is singing at the moment. Jamiroquai is playing tomorrow evening, Kings of Leon on Saturday and Aerosmith Sunday.
Right, gotta go! I’ll write a longer post when I get back, as I’m keeping notes in my notebook.
Bye!
