His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, was amongst VIP guests and regional and international media who attended the opening of a unique exhibition showcasing Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. The exhibition features a selection of images of Yas Marina Circuit's facilities that have been transformed into pieces of art. Philippe Gurdjian, CEO of Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management (ADMM) and the project's creative director, and Khaldoon Al Mubarak, Chairman of ADMM, guided guests through distinctive features of a track that is set to become a highlight of the Formula 1(TM) race calendar from 2009. Highlights of the exhibition include the stunning Yas Marina Hotel with the track running right through it, the Sun Tower 60 metres above the track allowing VIP guests the perfect view of the action and the Marina with a Yacht Club. The Yas Marina Circuit is being developed by ALDAR Properties as part of the overall development of Yas Island. Guests were able to review the centrepiece of the display, an interactive scale model of the track. In addition to showing the Formula 1(TM) track and its iconic landmark elements, the model also showcases Yas Marina Circuit's many other facilities such as the Karting Track, Dragstrip, Business Park, Team Buildings and all the circuit's innovative Grandstands. The exhibition will remain on display in Emirates Palace until November 30th. A specially created mobile version of the exhibition now heads east to Shanghai, where it will be located in the heart of the Formula 1(TM) Paddock at the Shanghai International Circuit and will be opened to the F1(TM) community from Friday morning onwards. |
