Seating Plan at Yas Marina Circuit

Yas Marina Circuit runs 5.281 km through 16 turns on Yas Island, so the grandstands are spread around the lap rather than stacked into a single bowl. Choosing one is choosing what you watch: the start, an overtaking zone, or the marina backdrop the circuit is known for.

• Main Grandstand — the start-finish straight and the pit lane, and the spot for the post-race pyrotechnics.
• North Straight Grandstand — wheel-to-wheel racing as the cars come out of Turn 5.
• West Grandstand — the high-speed run into Turns 6 and 7, one of the prime overtaking zones of the lap.
• South Grandstand — the battles into Turn 9, with the marina and the W Abu Dhabi hotel behind.
• Marina Grandstand — the waterfront view: superyachts and the illuminated W Abu Dhabi.
• Abu Dhabi Hill — elevated seating with a wider, more distant view across the circuit.

Each grandstand is split into numbered blocks. Rows run from the front of the block backwards and seats are numbered along the row, so a higher row trades closeness to the barrier for a wider view of the track — and for more shade during the warm afternoon sessions.

Reading your ticket

On YAS RACE you choose a price category and section. The best available seats together in that section are confirmed at checkout, and your block, row and seat are shown on your ticket.

A grandstand ticket covers a named seat for the sessions printed on it. Grand Prix seats are normally sold as multi-day passes covering the whole weekend of running rather than race day alone — the event page states what your ticket covers.

Hospitality at the circuit is a separate product: lounges and suites such as the Luna Lounge, the Deck at Nine and the Shams Suite include food and drink, and a grandstand ticket does not. Which categories are on sale changes from event to event, so the seat map on each event page is the live answer. Every price there already includes all fees.
