Russian GP - 2014

This was kept pretty quiet?

Bernie signs a deal for a Russian GP from 2014?

I think it has been rumoured for a while now. I hope Tilke isn't designing it! Sponsorship by Lada anyone?

Anyway Petrov will be happy.

With 'Puty Put' Putin on his side, (Puty Put is what George W used to call him), Bernie can be assured the Russian Mafia will held at arm's length.

Sochi is an interesting place to host a race. A sea-side resort town by the Black Sea, it will be good for the place's tourism.

So what would the chances be of a London GP in 2012 be?

Lets face it, the track couldn't be any worse than Valencia

Do you mean this one, back in 2008 or thereabouts.... to do with the last Russian GP? I think it was originally meant to be finished by now.

I didnt think it was too awful going by Tilkes previous standards anyway.

I think he was making a joke, because there are some definite visual similarities between the two layouts.

Looks like Zolder with bits missing and a few bits added for good measure.

Here's the circuit. I'm presuming it's clockwise due to run-off areas, the pit lane entry and exit, and suchforth, but it could equally be anti-clockwise. No confirmation as yet



First impressions are that it looks pretty good. Like Valencia but better. Should be a great street circuit-like setting around the Olympic Park

That Sochi raceway is going to be 5,5 km long with 2,5 km of stationary sections and 3 km of usual roads in the Olympic park. That 2,5 km is going to host national series.

As for Moscow Raceway, it's being build and the first race will be held in 2011. And choice of Sochi is very simple. It's more suitable in the terms of climate. Compare +18..+24 Celsius now in Sochi and 0..+6 in Moscow Region. It's more suitable for the F1 calendar.
