What to expect from West Straight Premium at Yas Marina Circuit
West Straight Premium combines a covered grandstand seat on the main straight with an exclusive Friday night experience centred on Guenther Steiner, the former Haas Team Principal. On Friday, you attend a 90-minute speaker session at The Fort, Lisaili in the Dubai desert, complete with complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off from anywhere in Dubai, a BBQ buffet dinner, house drinks (beer, wine, soft drinks), and a spectacular fire show. You also enjoy a welcome glass of champagne, time in an intimate sunset lounge, and a photo opportunity with Steiner himself.
Your race weekend begins on Saturday and Sunday with numbered seats in a covered grandstand positioned on the West Straight.

A video wall is available for you to follow the action across the circuit when your immediate sightline does not capture it.
