Rustavi International Motorpark, motorpark near Tbilisi, Georgia
Rustavi International Motorpark is a racing circuit 20 km south-east of Tbilisi, rebuilt in 2011–2012 to FIA Grade 2 standards. The track is 4,140 m long with 12 turns, 28 FIA-standard pit boxes, and a start-finish straight extended to 830 m for drag racing.
Rustavi was the last race track built in the USSR, opened in 1978 with a 4.039 km circuit. It hosted eleven USSR Championship events until 1989, then lay unmaintained until 2009, when the company Stromos bought the site at a state auction. A full reconstruction finished in 2012, and President Mikheil Saakashvili opened the renewed track on 29 April 2012 driving a Formula 3 car.
The complex sits about 20 km from Tbilisi center on the right side of the Mtkvari River, near the main highway to Red Bridge. Easy access and proximity to a major car market and government services make it simple to find and reach.
The start-finish straight was lengthened to 830 m for drag racing, and a tunnel for heavy trucks runs beneath the track between Turns 2 and 3. Spectators reach Tribune 3 over a bridge flanked by two Svan towers. The circuit runs counter-clockwise with 7 left and 5 right turns.
