Dubai
has built one of the world's most prestigious and state of the art Formula One
race tracks in the world despite not yet winning the contract to host Formula
One in Dubai.
Many
believe that it is just a matter of time before Dubai will officially host
Formula One. In February 2007 in front of an elated crowd of thousands, Bernie
Ecclestone signed a contract with Abu Dhabi racetrack to host a Formula One
Grand Prix from 2009 for a period of 7 years.
Formula
One Management CEO Mr Ecclestone commented: ‘We are delighted to welcome Abu
Dhabi into the Formula One family, and look forward to a long and successful
partnership.’ The Dubai Aerodrome in Dubai has a vision and a belief that will
ensure it will surely follow Abu Dhabi into the Formula One family.
