Yas Marina Circuit - حلبة مرسى ياس

This guide to Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi follows the roughly 14,000 workers who built the track on reclaimed desert and sea, and the moment partway through construction when Abu Dhabi scrapped the original street-circuit plan for a full permanent motorsports complex, sending crews back to redraw the whole layout against a fixed deadline. You'll hear about the round-the-clock push that followed and the graywacke rock hauled in from a quarry in Shropshire, England, because nothing closer gave Formula One drivers the grip they needed. Best heard standing trackside, looking down at the surface beneath your feet.
