FORMULA ONE GRAND PRIX - ISTANBUL
Turkey holds its 2nd Formula One Grand Prix in 2006. The
spectacular 5.378 kilometer track is designed by famed German
architect Herman 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 320 kph. 
The Istanbul Racing Circuit is located on the Asian side of Istanbul,
approximately 90 kms from the city centre. An unusual feature of the venue is
that the lap will run anticlockwise, making the Turkish Grand Prix only the
third race on the calendar to do so (San Marino and Brazil are the other two).
It possesses a wide variety of corners, and while perhaps not as technical as,
say, Shanghai, it definitely provides the drivers with real challenge,
especially given the reduced downforce available.
The character of the circuit is further enhanced by plenty of gradients
– the track is built on four different ground levels. There look to be fewer
obvious overtaking opportunities than at some other Tilke circuits – it doesn’t
feature the long straights followed by tight hairpins that characterise the
likes of Sepang and Shanghai – but the drivers found plenty of their own once
they got used to the track.
As you’d expect from a new venue, spectator facilities are impressive.
Seating capacity is 155,000, with 25,000 of those in the main grandstand, and
parking for 20,000 cars.
