The host of the final round of this years F1 World Championship let?s you drive the challenging track
Located on Yas Island, about 30km from the city centre, the Yas Marina circuit is a 5.5km affair with 21 turns. To get fans used to the track and the location (and kill some boredom during work, no doubt), the organisers have released a virtual version of the track on their official website. It lets you tear around the Yas Marina circuit in a Formula 1 car.
Don?t get too excited, you?re not going to feel any Gs and it?s a pretty basic game, but it will fill you in on the track layout and hopefully get you a bit psyched about the race and F1. To check it out for yourself, hit the link below.
