Located on the Anatolian side of Turkey, around 90km from the centre of Istanbul, it saw its first international event at the 2005 Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix.
The most difficult part of the circuit is the combination of turns 9 and 10, three very fast left-hand corners.
Neglected after 2011, it returned to the calendar following the Covid19 pandemic.
