Neva ring
The Neva Ring ( Russian: Невское кольцо , Newskoje Kolzo ) was a temporary street circuit in Saint Petersburg , Russia .
The motorsport race track with six bends and two chicanes was around 3,600 meters long and was crescent-shaped in the immediate vicinity of the Kirov Stadium . The route was driven counter-clockwise. The track was considered to be one of the oldest racetracks in Russia. It opened in 1956 with a motorcycle race. Since 1958, automobile races have also been held on the ring.
In 1999 the 4th round of the Russian Formula 3 Championship took place there. The Italian Fabio Babini won the race with a Dallara F3-99. Competitions for the Russian Touring Car Championship have been held there since 2004 . In 2006 the racetrack was given up due to the demolition and reconstruction of the stadium. No further plans for a new start are known.
