Burj Khalifa on the skyline, a hotel over the track and boats in the marina: this United Arab Emirates racing game hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the spirit of Yas Marina. It's a race track shaped like the United Arab Emirates, its nine corners named after places on the outline, from the coast at Abu Dhabi up to Ras Al Khaymah and Dubay, then inland to Al Ayn and the desert beyond.
It's flat, with 10 metres of climb, and built for speed.

Screenshots from the United Arab Emirates circuit
Around the United Arab Emirates track
Burj Khalifa towers over everything, the Burj Al Arab stands on the coast, and the Sheikh Zayed mosque and the Ferrari World roof appear further round. The lap passes beneath a hotel, the road running under the building itself, then loops round a marina full of boats. Dunes fill the land beyond. Land cruisers, SUVs and yellow taxis are parked by the fences, and the boards read Yas, Dubai, Sharjah, Al Ain and Fujairah.

How to drive the United Arab Emirates circuit
The main straight runs 1,180 metres, and the corner at the end of it is the slowest on the lap at 71 km/h, so turn 1 is a heavy stop from top speed and the best overtaking spot on the circuit. After that come the hotel and the marina, with nine corners in all and almost no elevation.
