Nuuk Street Circuit – Nuuk

When was the track built?

One of the most fascinating projects of the new Formula 1 Organization, the street circuit in Greenland’s capital Nuuk, that uses public roads around the airport, will host the first ever Grand Prix fully powered by renewable energy.
Adjustments to the road system and the construction of the section between Turn 5 and 10 will be ready for the 2023 season, as this will be the pioneer for events of this kind.
All facilities will be temporary and will use the airport perimeter, which is one of the few flat surfaces in the area.

When was its first Grand Prix?

It will be the first ever race on this circuit.
It will be the 13^th round of the North American Continental Series.

What’s the circuit like?

It is more an “old-style” road course rather than a street circuit, especially in the first and third part, respectively going downhill through the rocky incline from the airport and uphill on the fjord back to it.
The central sector, which goes through the northern part of the city, the marina and the university, is the most technical with two tight chicanes and another couple of heavy braking zones.
The double-apex final corner is probably the most challenging one for drivers; overtaking is definitely possible, especially with the low-downforce set-ups that cars will use.

Where is it located?

At Nuuk, the world’s northernmost capital, in the southwest part of Greenland, served by its own airport. (+ 64.190715, -51.675875)
