Everything about the Baku City Circuit: history, track layout, best grandstands and how to get to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Baku City Circuit – Formula 1's street circuit on the Caspian Sea

The Baku City Circuit is a temporary street circuit in the centre of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and hosts the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. It combines high-speed sections along the Caspian Sea waterfront with a tight, twisting stretch through the historic old town.

Key facts

The circuit opened in 2016 (its first F1 race was the European Grand Prix). At 6.003 kilometres it is one of the longest tracks on the calendar and runs anti-clockwise over 20 corners. The main grandstands hold around 18,500 spectators.

Design and layout

Its signature is the contrast between a roughly two-kilometre full-throttle stretch – where top speeds exceed 350 km/h – and the notorious uphill section by the old town that is only about 7.6 metres wide, running past the Maiden Tower. This mix makes Baku one of the most unpredictable circuits of the season.

Significance for Formula 1

Since its debut in 2016, Baku has produced some of the most chaotic and thrilling races in recent Formula 1 history. Its unique blend of modern and historic scenery makes the Azerbaijan Grand Prix a special weekend.

Location and getting there

The circuit is right in the centre of Baku and easy to reach on foot, by metro and by shuttle. Heydar Aliyev International Airport is about 25 kilometres away. The old town and the waterfront offer a rich programme around the race.
