Dragon Race Track - Kaloyanovo CCW

The Dragon Race Track is a motorsports facility constructed in 2005 on the central Balkan farmlands in Kaloyanovo, Bulgaria, on a 2-hours ride east from Sofia.  The raceway has a total length of 1.27 miles (2.04 km) and stands in flat terrain that used to be occupied by an agricultural airfield. There are 12 turns on this concrete surface racetrack, and you can race under any atmospheric condition, with four distinct seasons during the year. The front straightaway measures 580 meters (1903 feet) and regularly hosts drag racing competitions. Some motorsport events like the Bulgarian Touring Car Championship and other local competitions use the Dragon Race Track.   

The layout of the Dragon Race Track distinguishes two different zones: the high-speed sector in the south and the challenging technical sector in the north. Races start/finish at the center of the main straightaway, where drivers can get to velocities as high as 200 km/h (125 mph). Turns number one, two, and three are 90-degrees right-handers forming a semi-rectangle, but turn number four deviates from closing this shape and goes to the left instead. Turn five is a sweeper that goes into the second-fastest sector of the track, which stops when arriving into the tight right-hander number seven. Turn eight is the opposite of the preceding one: a tight-angle left-hander giving way to the sweepers nine and ten. The last two corners, 12 and 13, take drivers back to the high-speed front straightaway, closing the circuit and providing passing opportunities.
