FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The world’s newest Formula 1 racetrack has been unveiled at the former Winter Olympics site in Sochi, which will host Russia’s first ever Grand Prix on October 12.
Krasnodar region governor, Aleksandr Tkachev, cut the ribbon
accompanied by former F1 driver Vitaly Petrov.
“This is a very hard track, with a lot of challenging turns, and
opportunities for overtaking, though I did set a personal best
lap time,” said Petrov after a test drive.
The track, snaking between landmark Olympics sites, cost about
$200 million dollars, and is surrounded by stands that can
accommodate up to 50,000 people.
Moscow has been courting the world’s biggest racing series since
the mid-1980s, when it was still on the other side of the Iron
Curtain. Several concrete plans have fallen through at the last
minute over the past two decades, though another top-tier track –
just like Sochi, designed by Hermann Tilke – Formula 1’s favored
designer, has been built outside Moscow.
While inviting an expensive Formula 1 race – which has been
licensed from the FIA for up to 2020 at least – appears like
trying to build the sport from the top up, racing has gained
increasing popularity among motor-obsessed Russians. Petrov’s
career at the top might have been short, but another Russian,
Daniil Kvyat, who is in his first season driving for Toro Rosso
in Formula 1, is considered one of the best prospects in the
world.
Petrov, who will be involved in managing the track, says Sochi
will help the grassroots.
“This won’t be just a showpiece. The track will be open all
year round, and anyone with a car is welcome to test themselves
on the track. We are also establishing a school for young drivers
– so we are open for everyone.”
