The Baku Street Circuit, home of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, is undeniably a circuit of contrasts. On one hand, the track boasts the narrowest section on the F1 calendar with its castle section just an astounding 7.6m wide. And on the other, much of the track is frighteningly fast, with possible top speeds of over 210mph. In its six years on the calendar, Azerbaijan has become known for struggling to produce a boring race with five different drivers having taken victory amongst thrills and spills aplenty. Baku’s old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and with a Mediterranean-style climate day temperatures are expected around 25˚C for September’s race. With direct London to Baku flights also available, why not buy your tickets today and witness the drama in The Land of Fire for yourself? |
