2016 Yas Marina GP2 and GP3 Series rounds
The 2016 Yas Marina GP2 and GP3 Series rounds were a pair of motor races that were held on 26 and 27 November 2016 at the Yas Marina Circuit in the United Arab Emirates as part of the GP2 Series and GP3 Series. It was the final round of both the 2016 GP2 Series and the 2016 GP3 Series. The race weekend supported the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
This was the final round run with the "GP2 Series" name, as the championship was rebranded as the FIA Formula 2 Championship from 2017. It was also originally planned to be the final race for the Dallara GP2/11 chassis that was first introduced in 2011 and the Mecachrome 4.0 litre V8 normally-aspirated engine package that had been used since the inaugural season of the series in 2005, before a new chassis and engine package was introduced for 2017, but both the current chassis and engine package had their services extended for one more season.
Background
In GP2, Carlin announced that Louis Delétraz would be replacing Marvin Kirchhöfer for the final round in Abu Dhabi. As well as Carlin, Arden International also announced that Emil Bernstorff would be replacing Jimmy Eriksson.
