Tour Overview

Baku brought F1 to the Caucasus in 2016, opening a completely new region to motorsport.

This ancient city on the Caspian Sea features old-world charm mixed with ultramodern architecture—medieval old city walls standing next to skyscrapers.

The Baku City Circuit's mental—high-speed straights bleeding into technical sections with barely any runoff. This isn't forgiving; it demands absolute precision and ballsy driving.

Azerbaijan fans bring passion, and the track delivers unpredictable outcomes. Baku is fast, demanding, and honestly kind of sketchy, which is exactly why drivers respect it. Central Asia's F1 presence starts here.

For a truly VIP Experience, you can also upgrade to F1 Hospitality Packages that include -  

- Paddock/Pitlane Walks
- Appearances from F1 Drivers/Personnel/Mechanics
- Access to Exclusive Hospitality Areas
- Gourmet Dining
