The Sochi Autodrom, previously known as the Sochi International Street Circuit and the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit, is a 5.848 km Formula One racing street circuit in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The circuit is the fourth-longest circuit on the Formula One calendar, behind Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan and Silverstone in the UK. The circuit is built around the Sochi Olympic Park, that is the coastal cluster of Olympic venues built for the 2014 Winter Olympics.


The Sochi Autodrom is designed by German architect Hermann Tilke. The start grid is on the northern edge of the Olympic Park and heads southwest towards the Black Sea coast. The track runs along the outer edge of the central Sochi Medals Plaza and then circles the plaza counter-clockwise and makes three turns around the Bolshoy Ice Dome. Then follows a series of tight corners before turning north where the track skirts the edge of the Olympic Park, above the main Olympic Village and the Adler Arena Skating Center. Then it passes the skating and curling centres, before funneling up behind the pit paddock toward the train station, and completing a circuit with two ninety-degree right turns. Some 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) of its length the circuit shares with public roads.

Who do you see as your current Rival?
Hmm. I don't really have a rival. It's always great to beat Sargent though ;)

What are you hoping for with the remainder of this season?
I'm just hoping to have some really good battles and pick up a few points along the way. I may miss another race or two before the end of the season. I know I am definitely missing one as I am doing a game jam.

Pole - Shortbread24
Fastest Lap - RDH
Race Winner - RDH
Podium - RDH, Sambamkid and Shortbread24

Who do you see as your current Rival?
As the current championship leader, always aiming to stay with the guy in second in the standings. So Craig.

What are you hoping for with the remainder of this season?
This is by no means digging at the allocations of the cars but all I want is to be able to fight with the other title contenders without being limited too much by the cars limitations.
I want the battle for the title to be decided on track not by the difference in car performance or how well the tyres hold in the pace car by car. Some cars like the Saubers drop the pace at around 50% tyre wear by up to 2 seconds a lap. Most are okay until 60% or more.
Russia as a track should hold up well in this respect as there's barely any deg to worry about!
