As the season finale draws closer and closer organizers of the superb new Abu Dhabi circuit have revealed that this weekend’s inaugural event on the Yas Marina circuit is a complete sell out.

"This will be an historic race of firsts: The first F1 race at Yas Marina Circuit; the first day into evening F1 race, with only one driver who will forever be recognised in F1 history as the winner of the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix," Richard Cregan, CEO of Yas Marina Circuit has been quoted as saying. “We've had an amazing response locally, nationally and internationally and every ticket has been sold."

However, before you get too carried away with that little piece of news, is it worth a mention that a ‘sell out’ at this new state of the art venue, only means 50,000 seats have been sold as that is all the covered grandstands can hold.
