Moscow Raceway GP10
The Moscow Raceway is an FIA Grade 1 circuit designed by the famous Formula 1 track architect Hermann Tilke as Moscow's number one racing facility and opened in 2012 in Volokolamsk, at an hour and a half road trip west from Moscow, Russia. The venue has not received the chance to host the Russian Grand Prix yet, but it regularly hosts high-profile events such as the Russian Circuit Racing Series, or the Russian Race for the World Touring Car Championship, to mention only two. The cold and snowy Russian winter means special preparations need to take place to race in Moscow from October to April.
There are two different configurations for racing on the Moscow Raceway, both counterclockwise-oriented and starting from the easternmost straight segment of the track. The FIM variation is the layout of choice when hosting motorcycling competitions because of its long back straight with no chicane. The GP10 variation includes that chicane on the back straight but eliminates turn eight to even out the technical difficulties of both layouts. The Moscow Raceway is a state-of-the-art race track in all of its configurations and will be a world-class venue for the Russian Grand Prix when the opportunity comes in the future.
The GP10 configuration at Moscow Raceway represents a specific Grand Prix layout variant at this Russian motorsport facility located in Volokolamsky District northwest of Moscow. The GP10 designation indicates a particular routing or version of the championship-grade circuit, creating unique characteristics distinct from other GP variants. This configuration serves events requiring specific technical challenges or distance specifications at Russia's FIA-certified international racing venue.
Operating the GP10 configuration showcases Moscow Raceway's layout flexibility where numbered GP variants provide distinct experiences. The facility's location 85 kilometers from Moscow positions it as the capital region's premier permanent road course. Russian continental climate creates dramatic seasonal variations with racing operations primarily May through September avoiding harsh winter conditions. The GP10 variant demonstrates Moscow Raceway's systematic approach to configuration options, serving Russia's motorsport community with varied championship-grade layouts at the nation's premier international-standard circuit facility.
