About Rustavi International Motorpark
Overview
Rustavi International Motorpark is on the right bank of the Mtkvari river at Rustavi, about 20 km south-east of central Tbilisi, and is signposted from the Tbilisi-Rustavi highway; Tbilisi International Airport is roughly half an hour's drive away. It is the only permanent racing circuit in Georgia. Owned by Shota Abkhazava, whose ArtTech team also tests there, it is the home of the Georgian Circuit Racing Championships, with classes for Formula Alfa, Legends and touring cars. Since the reopening it has also staged drag racing, drifting, karting, motorcycle and club events, and several local and national teams are based at the venue.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The main A circuit measures 4.140 km and can be split into the B circuit of 2.140 km and the C circuit of 1.338 km, which can be used at the same time. The asphalt is between 12.5 and 21.5 m wide, the steepest rise is 3.16 percent and the steepest fall 2.5 percent. Most run-off areas are gravel, and the most critical ones are paved. The start and finish straight measures 667 m, and an extension of about half a mile lets it double as a drag strip; the estimated top speed of a GP2 car on the circuit is 282 km/h. The circuit meets FIA Grade 2 safety rules, and Pepe Oriola set an A circuit race lap record of 1:42.657 in a SEAT Leon TCR at the 2017 TCR International Series round.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The pit building holds 28 boxes, each 6 m by 14 m, with race control on its third floor, and the rebuild added a permanent concrete grandstand for about 2,000 people; at the reopening the three grandstands together held 7,500 spectators. A vehicle tunnel runs under the track between Turns 2 and 3, a pedestrian tunnel links the main grandstand with the paddock, and two infield bridges carry towers in the traditional Svan style. Video surveillance covers the whole lap, and the circuit has 14 electronically controlled signal lights, a fibre-optic network for the public address system and a five-loop timing system.
History
Construction was approved in the mid-1970s on a former motocross site, and the track that opened in 1978 was the last road course built in the Soviet Union. The first races were held in October 1979 as rounds of the USSR championship, and the circuit staged eleven USSR Championship events until 1989, including the Soviet Formula 3 Championship. Its remote location, worn surface and outdated safety standards then drove professional racing away, and the track fell into disrepair after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 2009 Abkhazava bought the site at a state auction, and reconstruction began in 2011 with an investment of about 20 million US dollars, moving some 250,000 cubic metres of earth to reshape the track. The renamed Rustavi International Motorpark opened on 29 April 2012, when President Mikheil Saakashvili drove a lap in a single-seater. In 2017 it hosted the opening round of the TCR International Series, where local driver Davit Kajaia won a race.
