Istanbul Park is one of the most respected modern Formula 1 circuits. Located on the Asian side of Istanbul, the track was designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke and first opened in 2005.
The circuit measures 5.338 kilometres and features 14 corners, combining fast sweeping sections with technical turns that demand precision and bravery from drivers. One of its most famous features is Turn 8, a long, high-speed multi-apex corner taken almost flat out in Formula 1 cars, which places enormous stress on tyres and drivers’ necks.
Another highlight is the 1.3-kilometre main straight, where cars can reach very high speeds before heavy braking into Turn 1, creating one of the best overtaking opportunities on the circuit. The track also includes significant elevation changes and a counter-clockwise layout, which is relatively unusual in Formula 1.
