Over the past weekend was in Abu Dhabi, the last Grand Prix will take the 2009 season. The whole thing is held on a completely rebuilt Motodrom, which in little more than two years, Abu Dhabi on a barrier island built. I did not let this opportunity escape and spent the whole weekend there.
all started in 2007 as the F1 for promotional purposes here was to visit. On that occasion was decided that in 2009 the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will take place. This was notified by a low flying aircraft at the end of an Etihad F1 show.
After that F1
was quiet for a while in the field. Early 2009 but was again swinging the word. All over the city, these posters will be seen.
About two weeks before the race was set up on the Corniche a fan zone. The public had the opportunity to inform themselves about the F1. Large screens were erected to where videos of past races were shown. If the response was not just unbearable you could even test their skills in an F1 simulator. It was also given you the opportunity to provide themselves with all sorts of memorabilia.
On race weekend itself, all the activities (there were a variety of support races such as the Porsche Cup, GP2, etc.) conferred by this fan zone on the giant screens. People could buy a ticket so had the opportunity to follow the events on the weekend there.
The F1 fever has also taken the police. To participate in various events to promote safety on the street, without further ado a F1 car was purchased. This vehicle provided in the usual police colors and with the local police emergency number 999, was then presented at a ceremony staged large as 999 F the public.
was to speak at this event presented by camel and auto racing history of the Abu Dhabi police vehicles. Also motorcycles were not missing it.

also as a social program for F1 race was held at the Emirates Palace Hotel, an exhibition on the history of F1. Thanks to Bernie Ecclestone, some beautiful models are on display. Here are a few examples.

from the race itself, I can not show any pictures because I technically good enough 'm equipped to make shots. The race started even in the twilight and ended under the lights at night. Motor sport enthusiasts can all this up on television.
The panoramic image shows but the view I had on this beautiful motor sports facility.
Note: Please click on this image. Only then can the panorama, assembled from four images to be enjoyed it.
