This autumn season, Azerbaijan will host the seventeenth round of Formula 1 competitions.

A stunning spectacle awaits all motorsport fans on the Baku City Circuit, located in the heart of Baku and running along the picturesque coast of the Caspian Sea. For Russians, the race in Baku is a unique opportunity to enjoy the "royal races" without unnecessary hassle: a visa is not required for travel, and the flight to the capital of Azerbaijan takes less than three hours.

The Baku City Circuit is a track with a special character, harmoniously combining the features of city streets and specialized racing tracks. Designed by renowned architect Hermann Tilke, it first appeared on the Formula 1 calendar in 2016 as the European Grand Prix, and since 2017 has been called the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Drivers race past historic buildings and along narrow streets, enjoying views of the Caspian Sea embankment. The track configuration includes long straights that allow the cars to reach maximum speed, as well as challenging sections with sharp turns that require maximum concentration and skill from the drivers. The narrowest part of the track runs through the Old Town and is only 7.6 meters wide, making it one of the most difficult and dangerous in Formula 1. Mistakes are unacceptable here, and drivers must be extremely careful to avoid collisions with the barriers. Baku City Circuit is famous for its unpredictability and exciting racing.

The Baku track has nine grandstands and the prestigious Paddock Club. Buy tickets for Formula 1 in Baku, Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025 on our website.
