The Slovakia Ring is a 3.67-mile (5.9-km) road course in the farmlands near Orechová Potôň, Slovakia, 30 minutes away from the country's capital and most important urban conglomerate, Bratislava. Its construction in 2008 took almost a year to complete, and the racetrack currently hosts high-profile events like the World Touring Car Championship or the GT1 World Championship, to name a few. A go-karting racing academy and a driver safety school operate in the Slovakia Ring, which offers track days for motorsports enthusiasts around the area. The climate is Continental, with warm summers, freezing winters, and moderate rainfall in the warmer months.
The layout of the Slovakia Ring resembles a triangle with soft edges when seen from above. The circuit is remarkably fast-paced, with an average speed of 91 mph (146 km/h) and an average lap time of 2:25.4. There are 14 corners and several long stretches of straight road, ideal for overpassing opponents. Even the vertices of the track are fast-paced, with high-performance vehicles hovering over them at 160 km/h (99 mph). The top speed is 220 km/h (136 mph) in several track segments. As racers approach the inner curves of the layout, the road course starts getting more technical and challenging to maneuver. Turns get tighter and come more often, and spectators enjoy watching drivers handling the snaking corners the best they can.
