Autodrom Saint Petersburg (Russian: Автодром Санкт-Петербург) is a permanent motorsport facility in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

History[]

The motorsport complex was opened in the autumn of 2010 in the south of Saint Petersburg, in the Shushary settlement.[1] The route has a total length of 3,073 meters with a width of 12 to 16 meters and can be used in three variants:

  • Configuration A 3019 meters with 7 right and 4 left turns
  • Configuration B 1820 meters with 5 right and 2 left turns
  • Configuration C 1260 meters with 4 right and 3 left turns

In configuration B and C, competitions can be held at the same time. The track complies with the safety standards of FIA Category 2 and is driven counter-clockwise. [2] The tracks are currently used for national automobile and motorcycle races, including drag race events.[2] In 2011 a run for the Russian Touring Car Championship (RTCC) took place on the track.

There is also a sports driving school on the site that trains racing drivers and offers driver safety training.[3]
