Autodrom Biłgoraj

Overview

Autodrom Biłgoraj is a compact multi-purpose circuit on ulica Motorowa in Biłgoraj, a town in the Lubelskie region of south-eastern Poland. The venue belongs to Powiat Biłgorajski (Biłgoraj County) and is run by Autodrom Biłgoraj Sp. z o.o. It serves karting, motorcycle and car users, and one asphalt complex can be set up in a different configuration for each of them. The circuit lies between a small meandering river to the north and the houses of the town to the south, with the grandstand along the start and finish straight.

Technical Specifications and Track Features

The asphalt is 8 to 14.5 metres wide. Connecting roads between the loops let the organisers set out circuits from about 850 to 1525 metres. The base karting circuit was designed with corner radii from 15 to 96 metres, an expected top speed of about 129 km/h and a lap of about 45 seconds. Its tighter variants for motorcycles go down to 10-metre radii. Supermoto adds a 140-metre unpaved section along the northern edge of the site, and the car circuits use a chicane on the eastern straight that leads back to the start. Run-off areas are grass or asphalt. The circuit holds an A-grade licence and four homologations from the Polish Motor Union (PZM).

Facilities and Specialized Areas

The main building has a 160-square-metre entrance hall with a reception desk, a 37-square-metre race office and two training rooms of 20 and 31 square metres that can be joined into one. A café of about 107 square metres has a panoramic view of the track. Outside are a paddock, a technical inspection hall, a medical room, a race control centre and a 500-seat grandstand, and visitors can stay on a camping field. The circuit can be hired exclusively for private events, training and competitions, and the rooms and halls can be added to the booking. The venue's own calendar lists track days, competitions and training sessions, among them motorcycle and car training. Rental karts are run on site by a partner company, Biłgokart.

History

The original Biłgoraj track was built at the end of the 1970s, and Robert Kubica took some of his first steps in motorsport there. For many years claims from several farmers to part of the land held back its use and development. A final court ruling confirmed the whole site as the property of Powiat Biłgorajski, and the county then rebuilt the circuit. The first stage cost more than 30 million złoty, part of it from the government's Polski Ład fund. It brought new asphalt, the grandstands, the race control centre, the technical inspection building, a sanitary building and a new main building for administration, exhibitions, conferences and training. The revived Autodrom opened officially on 27 June 2025. Its first season calendar included rounds of supermoto and pit bike racing and the final of the Rotax Max Challenge Poland karting series. A second stage is planned, with a rallycross track, a driver training centre with a skid pad, a hotel and an additional grandstand.
