Nuuk Street Circuit – Nuuk

When was the track built?

One of the most fascinating projects of the new Formula 1 Organization is the street circuit in Greenland’s capital Nuuk, that uses public roads near the port and the marina, which will host the first ever Grand Prix fully powered by renewable energy.
The track will benefit from adjusted roads and a new semi-permanent section that will connect T12 to T15 parallel to the new airport strip.
All facilities will be temporary with floating pits and paddock; few stands will also be floating on the Ocean, in one of the most difficult circuits to engineer.

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 starts immediately with a unique feature: the main straights sits on a downhill bridge leading to T1; the first braking zone will be difficult.
The rest of the first sector is twisty and undulated as it unravels through the tight roads of the city.
After T8 it keeps climbing up the hill exploiting the larger and faster road that goes to the new airport but with a spectacular long double-corner it enters the semi-permanent super fast downhill section ending in the tight hairpin at T15.
It combines all aspects of the most famous street circuits, and it has all elements to become an iconic appointment in the calendar.
Cold temperatures and rain will often play a part.

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)
