Silesia Ring – Kamień Śląski

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

When was the track built?

The area of the former military airport of Opole has been used recently to build a private track test, very modern but short and twisty.
The potential of the whole lot will be exploited in full, thanks to the construction of a new FIA Grade-1 circuit, designed by me, that will be the fourth major racetrack in Poland; it will partially re-use the existing course and roads and runway of the airfield, plus there will be a complete redevelopment of the park complying with the latest environmental standards.

When was its first Grand Prix?

It will be the first race ever on this circuit.
It will rotate with other three circuits for the Polish spot in the F1 European Series calendar.

What’s the circuit like?

It is really fast, and we’ll see cars with very flat rear wings here.
The first part, up until turn 7, offers four hard braking zones and corners where it is easy to follow and be side-to-side and will surely provide amazing racing.
After that comes the slower and twistier bit, which leads to the final sector, inspired by Baku’s main straight, with two extremely-high-speed bends, providing a great slipstream to the finish line.

Where is it located?

In Kamień Śląski, around 80km east of Katowice and 120km south of Wroclaw, in the southern part of the country; both cities have well connected airports. (+ 50°31’40”, + 18°05’44”)
