Expected to set fire to the hearts of racing fans, the Speed Park Track’s very first section after the start-line is going to have a 70m tall banking corner known as the 'Blade’, there are plans for a concert arena which can also be converted in a terrace bleacher for viewing of races, sure to experience some exhilarating starts.
Expected to have 21 turns, straights where cars can get up to 325km/h, an anti-clockwise layout with 108 meters of elevation change and three DRS activation zones, the Speed Park Track is set to be a thrilling track for both drivers and spectators.
