Baku City Circuit
BakuGeographical Information
Baku or Baku, also known as Baqy, Baky or Baki, is the capital, largest city and largest port of Azerbaijan and the entire Caucasus.
Located on the southern coast of the Absheron Peninsula, the city consists of three main parts: the center, the old Walled City spread over the territory of 21.5 hectares, and the part of the city built in the Soviet era. Baku is considered one of the oldest and largest cities in the East. The city is located on the western shore of the Caspian Sea (Absheron Peninsula).
Because of the similarity of the gulf it overlooks, it is twinned with Naples.
Historical Information
The track is 6.003 kilometers long and has remained virtually unchanged since 2016, with 20 turns. Some of these, such as the first seven, are practically right-angle turns, while others through the old part of town are very slow and some are full throttle, as they are part of a section of track that is treated as a two-kilometer straight leading to the start-finish line.
The track varies greatly in width, going from only seven meters at Turn 8 to being wide enough to accommodate three cars side by side along the main straight. Since the circuit is normally open to city traffic, the evolution of the track will be an important factor to consider when evaluating performance, while the weather can also play its part.
