About Serres
Overview
The Serres Circuit stands south-west of the city of Serres in northern Greece, within the Omonoia Athletic Park, about an hour and a half by road from Thessaloniki airport and a little further from Kavala airport. It was built by the Municipality of Serres, which holds 76.5 percent of the operating company, Serres Circuit S.A. It is the only circuit in Greece built to the specifications of both the FIA and the FIM, and it calls itself the largest circuit in the Balkans. The venue hosts car and motorcycle competition at national, Balkan and international level, including the BMU Balkan Road Racing Championship, in which the Greek, Bulgarian and Romanian motorcycle federations take part, and the Drift Kings Nations Cup. Drag racing, open practice days, track days, test drives and corporate events fill the rest of the calendar.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The lap measures 3.186 km and has 16 turns, seven to the left and nine to the right, on asphalt 12 to 15 m wide, and the circuit meets the safety requirements for racing up to Formula 3. The start straight, up to 16 m wide, runs for 662 m. Its extension forms a 900 m dragster strip used for training and championships, and drag meetings for cars and motorcycles are run over a quarter mile. The surface was relaid in 2012 and again in 2021, when the trackside walls and kerbs were repainted from blue and white to red and white. The whole site covers about 50 hectares.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The pit building has 18 boxes of 40 square metres, each with power, water, compressed air and a live timing screen, opening straight onto the parc ferme, plus two VIP boxes. A reinforced-concrete grandstand with 2,500 seats lines the start and finish straight, a demountable stand next to the paddock adds 1,500 seats, and there are further concrete stands opposite the pit lane. The paddock includes a covered area of 4,900 square metres and a medical room. Other buildings hold a press room for 50, an awards room with a podium balcony, a restaurant and cafe, timing and race control rooms, and a classroom used for robotics lessons. Parking takes about 2,000 vehicles, and ambulances, recovery and fire vehicles use an internal service road network of 4,800 m. Driving schools, including the California Superbike School, run courses for cars and motorcycles, and a road safety programme with the Panos Mylonas Institute brings school pupils from Serres and nearby areas to the track.
History
The circuit was planned and built during the 1994-1998 term of mayor Ioannis Vlachos. Work began in 1995, the first cost of about 550 million drachmas came from the municipality's own funds, and the track opened in May 1998, a few months after Megara, as the second circuit in Greece. The venue has also been used for the International Six Days Enduro. The 2021 works also refurbished the VIP boxes under the grandstand, and in early 2022 mayor Alexandros Chrysafis became chairman of the board.
