Turkish Grand Prix

Istanbul ParkSeptember 17-19, 2027

The Turkish Grand Prix returns to the magnificent Istanbul Park, home of the legendary Turn 8 — one of the most iconic and demanding corners in all of motorsport. A classic Hermann Tilke masterpiece, this circuit rewards precision and bravery in equal measure.

The Legend of Turn 8

Istanbul Park is revered for its flowing, high-speed layout and the fearsome Turn 8 — a quadruple-apex left-hander taken flat-out that places enormous lateral load on cars and drivers. Mastering it is a badge of honor for any Grand Prix driver.

The circuit's anti-clockwise direction and varied corner combinations create a unique physical challenge, testing both tire management and driver stamina. The track's wide nature also encourages bold overtaking moves into the heavy braking zones.

Set on the Asian side of Istanbul, the venue offers easy access to one of the world's great cities. Visitors can explore the Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and Bosphorus waterfront, experiencing the rich fusion of European and Asian culture that makes Istanbul truly unique.
