Preparations for the 2023 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are nearing completion, before the event kicks off earnest on Thursday.

Despite the venue being in use all year round, teams have been out in force to get Yas Marina Circuit looking pristine and ready to welcome the tens of thousands who will descend on the island venue for the event.

To this end, a dedicated team of cleaning and maintenance specialists, painters, gardeners and technical experts have been sprucing up the 5.28km track, its grandstands, the fan zones and hospitality spaces, and landscaped areas.

Improvements include a new LED lighting system that will improve efficiency by more than a third and reduce electricity use by nearly a quarter.
