GETTING TO THE GRAND PRIX
As with every major event, it’s important you sort your parking and travel plans early. (Trust us – there’s more than a few memories of standing curb-side trying to find a cab in the past!)
If you’re traveling from Abu Dhabi or Dubai, we always recommend sharing a ride with mates. If you’re planning to drive, tickets with a parking pass linked makes parking simple. With a pre-assigned carpark, just pop the location into Google Maps and head to Yas Island.
For those without a parking pass, Yas Mall offers free parking just a 15-minute drive from the race track, with a complimentary shuttle bus dropping you directly to your gate.
If you are planning to get a taxi, make sure you navigate to your gate number for the Yas Marina Circuit on Google Maps – otherwise, wear some comfy walking shoes!
Getting home. we’d suggest pre-booking a car or Zofeur driver in advance for return trips, with Ubers, Careems and taxi’s in super high demand that weekend.
