Špiro Mugoša Circuit – Podgorica

Circuit: Existing
Layout: Fictitious (designed by me) – © 2021 AllAlongTheRacetrack

When was the track built?

The Špiro Mugoša Aerodromu, a small airport just outside Podgorica, has been used since the 1960s mainly for parachuting, gliding, and other air sports activities, but also for car racing using its 800m long runway.
It will be used as a main straight for a FIA-Grade 1 circuit, designed by me, built in the park around the site.
It will be ready for the 2023 season.

When was its first Grand Prix?

It will be the first ever race in this country.
It will rotate with Switzerland the 28th spot in the F1 European Series calendar.

What’s the circuit like?

It is characterized by its fast and sudden high-speed changes of direction: good examples are the section between turns 6 and 10, the 14-15 combo and turn 19.
Also very particular the long parabolic curve 12.
Despite having only one real straight, it still offers plenty sports for out braking the rivals and, thanks to its design, to immediately counter-attack.
Tyre consumption won’t be uniform so it will be critical to have a well-balanced car.

Where is it located?

Just outside the capital Podgorica, on the East side, and 10km north of its airport. (42°25’17.4″N; 19°17’27.7″E)
