Grosser Preis von Moskau

I've wrote already about F1 in Moscow this year.

Well, some news. Having some details already known, I've drawn a circuit (hard to call it a circuit, though) which, I believe, will be used. Interesting it will have a great relief - the start will be given near St.Basil's Cathedral down the flat hill to Moscow river, where almost a 90 turn exists (don't know whether they are going to save it for the track), then a looong almost straight sector right under the Kremlin walls from the right and Moscow river from the left, followed by something like a stretched S leading to another, even much longer almost straight part right to the Bolshoi theatre, where they turn and run back to the start. I've drawn a loop there, as I guess they may go around the Teatral'naya square. Everything sounds great, I just don't know where to stand - I wanna be everywhere Hope they'll allow public access to cars at start/finish place.

Well, the exact track is still unknown, these are just my thoughts on it, as I know some 'key' dots and parts of it.

I don't know either which teams will visit us and what will run beside F1 cars.

A long awaited Bernie's dream comes true - Formula-1 around the Kremlin .

Here, the red one is the above track and the blue one is a (provisional) 2005 version, when Renault arrived with their show.

What about a pitlane complex?
F1 cars going around the Kremlin would look fantastic

I don't think there would be any - it's a show, not a race 'Grosser Preis' is just for everyone to look this thread
Instead of pits I expect to see something like a closed park with a couple of trailers.

Any actual F1 race would probably take place outside the city?

it is a similar demo event as has been taken place in Rotterdam during the past couple of years.

Maybe someday, near Moscow or St.-Petersberg.

Yes, it is. It's even being organized by Rotterdam Racing B.V. - the same as for Bavaria City Racing, if I'm not mistaken?

It was said that Force India would most possible participate.

Contrary to what I've read previously, two teams have already approved their participation in Moscow City Racing event - Williams (will be driven by Nico Rosberg) and Red Bull (will be driven by RB protege - Mihail Aleshin, who is currently running in WSR V6 series).

Moscow City Racing powered by Bavaria
