Abu Dhabi circuit well on schedule

Abu Dhabi circuit well on schedule

Abu Dhabi's new Formula One track is on schedule to be finished by the summer - well ahead of its first Grand Prix that takes place in November.

The £250 million circuit, which is based on Yas Island, will be completed alongside the hotels, marina and other leisure facilities that will be situated near it.

John Bullough, the chief executive of the Aldar Properties company that is developing the venue, said that work had progressed well enough for the track to be opened months before the race is due to take place.

"All of the Yas Island phase one will be finished this summer, with obviously the Formula One Grand Prix circuit, the infrastructure, seven hotels, a major marina, the yacht club, a golf course," Bullough told Abu Dhabi newspaper The National.

"The Yas Marina will be flooded in the spring. Everything is going to be finished well ahead of the race."
