Bucharest Ring
The Bucharest Ring is a temporary racetrack that was first established in the Romanian capital Bucharest in May 2007.
Route
The street circuit , which was designed by Hermann Tilke , is 3,180 meters long and runs clockwise around the Parliament Palace in an irregular square .
After the start there is a 90 ° right-hand bend onto a long straight that has two chicanes. Then, after a sharp right-left-right combination, you take the back straight, which curves slightly to the right, through another chicane onto the last straight, before you get to the start-and-finish straight through an omega-shaped right-hand bend.
Events
A first event planned for 2006 had to be canceled due to a lawsuit against a Romanian businessman who had registered the route layout as the alleged author with the Romanian OSIM (“State Office for Inventions and Trademarks”, comparable to the German Patent and Trademark Office ) .
From May 18 to 20, 2007, races for the FIA GT Championship , the British Formula 3 , the Dacia Logan Cup and the FIA GT3 European Championship were held on the circuit for the first time . The following year, from August 22nd to 24th, the series, with the exception of the FIA GT3, made another guest appearance at the Bucharest Ring.
In 2011, the Auto GP was supposed to be an international series again, a race weekend on the track, but this failed due to insufficient funds from the Romanian organizer to hold the event and the lack of Grade 2 homologation by the FIA .
