The 2014 Yas Marina GP3 Series round was a GP3 Series motor race held on November 21 and 22, 2014 at Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi. It was the final weekend of the 2014 GP3 Series. The race supported the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Classification

Summary

Trident made changes to their lineup for the final round: Luca Ghiotto was replaced by Kang Ling, and Patrick Kujala moved to the #25 car to replace Mitchell Gilbert, with former Marussia Manor Racing driver Ryan Cullen taking the now-empty #24 seat.[1] In addition, Nikolay Martsenko was not present, leaving Hilmer Motorsport with two cars for the weekend.

In order to stay in championship contention, Dean Stoneman needed to qualify in pole position. However, it was Marvin Kirchhöfer who took the top spot, with Alex Lynn therefore securing the championship title.[2] Stoneman took the lead from Kirchhöfer into the first corner and held him off for the rest of the race to take his fifth win of the season.[3] Dino Zamparelli rounded out the podium.[4]

Nick Yelloly started on pole for race two. It was Patric Niederhauser who got the better start though, beating Yelloly to turn one. Niederhauser built a gap of almost five seconds over Yelloly to win his third sprint race of the year.[5] However, after the race it was found that Niederhauser's rear wing did not conform with the technical regulations, and he was disqualified from the race, promoting Yelloly to first.[6] With Lynn in second, Carlin secured the teams' championship.[7]
