Baku is ready to host the eighth consecutive Formula 1 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which will be held on September 13-15, 2024 in Baku. The races are expected to delight the hearts of Formula 1 fans. The fact that all grandstand tickets for the race are already completely sold out also speaks of the great interest. Due to overwhelming demand, two additional stands were added to the existing eight stands, increasing the total seating capacity by 35% compared to last year.
Azerbaijan Grand Prix has been held since 2016 and is known for its exciting races and remarkable results. Sports experts highlight some important factors why the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is so popular among Formula 1 fans. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has a reputation as one of the most tense and unpredictable, as there has never been a repeat winner of the race. Races are won and lost through dramatic incidents, on-track collisions, punctures and even road rage. Another reason why the Azerbaijan Grand Prix always produces such exciting races is the track's location in the very heart of Baku City. It is the fourth longest track on the Formula One calendar at 6,003 km (3,730 mi). Speeds of up to 378 km/h (235 mph) have been recorded in the past, leading to some intense overtaking battles. The location of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Azerbaijan also lends special importance to the race. Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, is an ideal location for a Formula 1 race. In terms of altitude, it ranks as the lowest venue on the calendar, as Baku is located 28 meters (92 ft ) below sea level. Baku is a lively, dynamic and cosmopolitan city with its unique historical monuments and wonderful modern architecture.
Azerbaijan's experience in hosting Formula 1 and other sporting events has proven to be mutually beneficial and people-oriented. In this way, Azerbaijan inspires other countries of the region under the motto that sports activities promote peace and cooperation between nations. People are becoming more and more interested in sports, which directly contributes to their good physical health.
