Chiefs of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix have announced that they will keep the ‘twilight’ day/night timing of the Grand Prix and the pit exit tunnel, despite both elements coming under fire from some quarters.

When quizzed on the twilight timing of the race and the tricky pit lane tunnel with no speed-limit, circuit boss Richard Cregan said:

“Nothing will change in that respect.”

The Yas Marina circuit won the 2009 race promoters award at the FIA gala and has been given the privilege of holding the last race of the 2010 season for the second consecutive year.
