Automotodróm Slovakia Ring, Race Track
Automotodróm Slovakia Ring is a 5.935 km (3.688 mi) motor racing circuit in Orechová Potôň, Dunajská Streda District, Slovakia. Its longest layout has six left and five right turns, a chicane and seven straights, with a 900 m finish straight and 12 m track width. A prominent hump on one straight can lift cars' front wheels off the ground.
Construction began in October 2008 and the circuit opened on 1 October 2009, at a cost of about 21.6 million euros, as the first and only asphalt race track in Slovakia. In 2011 an off-road course, an 800 m kart track and a three-star hotel were added; a fourth phase in 2018 brought a military museum and an animal welfare station. A chicane added after turn 9 in 2018 raised the maximum length from 5.92 km to 5.935 km.
The circuit lies on the flat Veľký Žitný ostrov plain in Orechová Potôň, about 36 km from Bratislava and roughly 30 km from Bratislava Airport. The longest layout, 5.935 km, has six left and five right turns, a chicane and seven straights; only the version with the chicane holds FIA Grade 2 approval. The main straight is 900 m long and 20 m wide, the track itself 12 m wide.
