The 2013 Yas Marina GP3 Series round was a GP3 Series motor race held on November 2 and 3, 2013 at Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi. It was the last weekend of the 2013 GP3 Series. The race supported the 2013 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Classification

Summary

Three teams changed their lineups before the final race weekend. Dean Stoneman replaced Aaro Vainio at Koiranen GP; it was his first race in single-seaters since 2010, when he was diagnosed with cancer.[1] Robert Cregan, whose father owned Yas Marina Circuit at the time, replaced David Fumanelli at Trident.[2] Alice Powell replaced Melville McKee at Bamboo Engineering, with the team running an all-female lineup, as Lewis Williamson as was not present and was not replaced.[3]

Daniil Kvyat took pole position, bringing the championship points gap to Facu Regalia down to just three points.[4] Kvyat led every lap and set the fastest lap, winning the race with an almost five second gap to Alexander Sims. Regalia crossed the line in seventh, but was given a twenty second time penalty for not respecting yellow flags, dropping him out of the points.[5] Because of this, Kvyat took the championship title with one race remaining.[6]

Patrick Kujala started on reverse grid pole, but was overtaken at the start by Tio Ellinas and Stoneman.[7] Ellinas struggled with tyre wear towards the end of the race but held the lead, taking his second win of the season.[8]
