Istanbul Turkey circuit description
Turkey made its debut on the Formula One
calendar in 2005 with an all-new purpose-built
circuit in Istanbul. The spectacular 5.378
kilometre track is designed by famed German
architect Hermann Tilke, the man behind
Sepang, Bahrain and Shanghai, and features
14 turns - eight lefts and six rights -
with the cars reaching speeds of up to 330
km/h.
Region
Istanbul is without doubt one of the most
unique cities on the Formula One calendar.
Istanbul
is the largest city in Turkey, and arguably
the most important. It is located on the
Bosphorus strait, and encompasses the natural
harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the
northwest of the country. It is officially
located in both Europe and Asia, but is
generally considered European. On the European
side of the Bosphorus river there are bars,
clubs and all the western shops you’d
expect to see in London or New York. On
the Asian side there are markets and more
indigenous enterprises and it is here that
the Istanbul Park circuit for Formula 1
is located.
