Baku City Circuit (formally Baku Grand Prix LLC) stands for the name of official promoter of the 2017 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe in Azerbaijan, as well as the title of the host venue of the race.

With a length measuring at slightly over six kilometres, the 20corner track will be lapped 51 times, with cars reaching potential speeds of up to 370km per hour, marking the circuit out as the fastest street circuit on the existing F1 calendar.

The circuit offers a number of challenges for drivers, including an extremely narrow uphill section along the old town walls that will require pinpoint accuracy, and it has an accelerati­on section of almost 2.2 kilometres along the seaside promenade, which will see the cars running flat out at very high speed something that will create an incredible show for race fans.

In June 2017, the specially constructe­d Baku City Circuit will see Formula 1 cars race around the picturesqu­e streets of downtown Baku, incorporat­ing the city’s UNESCOprot­ected old town – Icheri Sheher as well as its modern skyline and beautiful Caspian Sea vista in front of a global audience of millions.
