<b>The Track</b><br>
Street circuits have their own peculiarities in Formula One. Monaco is one of the most popular Grand Prix on the calendar. Other major cities seem to be benefiting as well. In this way Baku tries to be the Monaco of Eastern Europe. With many long straights, a very long straight but also a slow section around a castle, Baku also has its own special character.<br>
This is the Grand Prix Karting version of Baku. Like GPK Monaco, the dimensions have been specially adapted for Formula Student.<br>
<br>
<b>Grand Prix Karting</b><br>
Grand Prix Karting tracks are F1 tracks with the layout of the original F1 track but the size, look and feel of real world karttracks. No big runoff areas, but modern wide kerbs, pit not on the infield but on the outside of the track, not many grand stands but a pitbuilding which is also a grandstand. These tracks are not a resized conversion of existing tracks but scratch build. Not laser scanned (because they are fiction) but handmade, which was a bit of a challenge with some tracks with a lot of elevation in the track and the terrain surrounding the track.<br>
<br>
The Grand Prix Karting Baku track is different from all other Grand Prix Karting tracks. The others are somewhat in the middle between the original F1 circuit and a regular outdoor karting track. The Baku track is, just like Monaco, the original F1 track made smaller, with imagery buildings. The original buildings would not fit beside the smaller track.<br>
