“The inaugural Run to Yas has been exhilarating and the welcome we have received in Abu Dhabi, second to none,” said Chris Welch, co-founder of the Run to Yas. “The scenery, sights and sounds and driving conditions throughout Abu Dhabi have exceeded all expectations and we couldn’t think of a better finale to the Run to Yas than watching the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit.”
