Abu Dhabi Building F1 Racetrack Hotel and Ferrari Theme Park

October 15, 2008 at 3:00 PM | by | Comments (2)

Just when you thought Dubai was having all the fun, neighboring Emirate Abu Dhabi has announced $40 billion-dollar plans for transforming a natural island into a new focus of the Formula One racing world.

Beginning in November of next year, their Yas Island development will host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on a spanking new race track, complete with the world's first F1 trackside hotel. Banish all thoughts of Motel 6, because this hot property will be kitted-out with top amenities, including yacht parking and views directly into and along the race course.

On days when you're not enjoying a live Formula One race from the comfort of your bed, Yas Island boasts a Ferrari theme park, Warner Brothers theme park, water park, multiple marinas, golf courses and of course, malls. In case you simply cannot bear to part with the exhaust and want only to live out your days in the company of the Ferrari brand, then you'll be thrilled to know that Yas Island includes whole apartment and condominium developments.

The whole shebang is scheduled for completion in 2014. If you're not worried about yacht parking, then 2010 or so should be good to check out the world's first Ferrari theme park and F1 hotel.

Not so fast

With oil slipping to $75 a barrel, a global economic demand slowing the demand for oil and travel, I wouldn't hold my breath for this one to happen.  Their banks are having capital problems, too.  Ah, the joys of a globalized economy!
