In 2009 there was a new race track opened in the United Arab Emirates. It was claimed it was the most expensive race track in the world. That made me wonder, how much did the Yas Marina Circuit cost to build.
I was searching the web and found Ameinfo.com. The article was titled Yas Marina Circuit: 11 things to know about the route to the F1 championship. It has many interesting facts including, the participants in the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix drive 55 laps around the 5.554 km track and do an estimated 305.355 km before finishing. But it also displayed my answer, it costed a total of $1.3 Billion to construct over a 2 year period.
The island that the track is situated on is Yas Island, a man-made island, now I wonder how much did it cost to build Yas island and why it was built.
