    Man I dont know what anyone else thought of the new Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit, but I think it is AWESOME!! this circuit is going to be the bench mark for any other new circuits that may appear in the future...

    I am sure "you'll be able to smell the money..." if your ever lucky enough to be able to go to that circuit, it just looked like it was oozing money everywhere , with that 5* Hotel over the circuit (hate to imagine what prices are for a room) and those HUMUNGOUS yachts/Boats in the marina. I was gobsmacked when I first it... I am still stunned by it.

    What a way to end the 2009 season...

    I watched a documentary on the building of that circuit including the hotel.
    It was built in some ridiculously short time, like 9 months or something

    Yes, I also thought the circuit looked amazing, not to mention the hotel, marina and boats (one of which had its own helicopter ). Would love to go there next season - better start saving now .

    It was incredible - what a dramatic setting with the hotel and Ferrari World.

    Need to save the pennies to take a visit over there

    Race was a bit of an anti-climax to what was a terrific season. Maybe not quite as excting as 2008 season, but it did shake thehings up and was full of drama
