I'll have to check but I'm sure I read somewhere in our pre-race notes on Abu Dhabi that the Yas Marinas track featured a change in elevation equivalent to an 18 storey building.

Can't believe that's true, but if it is, it doesn't really make an impact of the racing in the same way as say Eau Rouge or the Corkscrew. There was even a turn at the old Autodromo in Buenos Aires very much like Corkcrew which was always a challenge.
