The free Yas Marina Circuit has three distinct sectors—the super-quick and fun sweeps from the start down through from T1 to T7, the two long straights that follow, and the intense, difficult, right-up-to-the-wall section from T11 to T21.

This place will test your braking ability like few others—almost one quarter of an average lap will see you stomping the middle pedal—with a dozen or so spots that really benefit the last of the late brakers. If you’re timid on the brakes here, you’ll never be quick enough.

The other challenge is the curbs: make sure your setup is compliant enough so you’re not nervous running them because you’re going to be riding over those things all day (and night) long.

This is a circuit that favours drivers who know how to get the best out of their brakes, and those who are both technical and super-aggressive.
