And here states that the developers have announced it has been delayed:

Anyone got any information, or progress updates?

The racing media are confusing it with the Dubai project that is halted.

Abu Dhabi don´t delay major projects, they got hundreds of $billions stashed away so money is no concern.

Yup, it will be ready for the racing season...and given that the typical local prefer 200km/h speeds when going to work

MEP Concept and Schematic was completed by Ramboll Whitby Bird in London, great team with some very good solutions to solving the interior cooling.

Just some tidbits..from the F1 fanatics blog.

The F1 drivers have collectively voiced their unhappiness about late race start times. A GPDA representative confirmed to Autosport the Malaysian Grand Prix might have been re-started had it not been started so late:
It wasn’t the rain that was the problem in Malaysia, because it can rain just as heavily at 2pm as it did at 6pm. But there was no chance to restart the race when it started so late because it got too dark - and that was the problem.

Bernie Ecclestone wants the late start to remain because they mean larger television audiences in Europe. Meanwhile the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix organisers are hoping its first race later this year will get an unusual start time of its own.

Circuit manager Philippe Gurdjian said:

We have a certain idea of what we would like to do, but I cannot tell you today what it is! We have a very specific idea, and I hope we will be able to do it - and it will be as unique as the track.

So what kind of time do they have in mind? At present the race is scheduled for a 3pm start (11am in Britain).

There has been no indication that they are planning to fully illuminate the Yas Island circuit to run a night race. In November Abu Dhabi sees sunlight between 6am and 6pm, limiting then to that time frame.

If they start the race much earlier the broadcast time would be inconvenient for Ecclestone. and if they start it any later they run the risk of the sun setting before the race finishes. So what could they be planning?

Is this going to be the location of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

Adam2707 · April 20th, 2009, 11:04 PM

Yes, the track is right next to Ferrari World.

Monkey9000 · April 22nd, 2009, 09:19 PM

Is there a thread for the F1 track? To see how it's coming along. Or is this most of the pics here?

Adam2707 · April 22nd, 2009, 11:17 PM

Some pics are posted here but generally most of the updates are in this thread.
