A category 1 racetrack with 40 pit buildings and 5.5km of race tracks, Yas Island F1 racetrack is a popular circuit to race in the Formula 1 calendar.

Precision timing is critical with milliseconds making the difference to first past the post. Metallic materials can cause interference to sensitive equipment. Mateenbar™ was used as the main reinforcement due to its non-electromagnetic and non-magnetic properties.
