Elevation profile
Slovakia Ring elevation
Elevation change 4 m. That is within the margin of the terrain model, so Slovakia Ring counts as flat and there is no profile to draw.

About Slovakia Ring
Overview
Slovakia Ring, officially Automotodróm Slovakia Ring, is a permanent racing circuit at Orechová Potôň in Dunajská Streda District, in the south-west of Slovakia, about 30 km from Bratislava Airport. The site was chosen for its road links, its distance from built-up areas, its climate and its closeness to Bratislava, Vienna and Budapest. The circuit was designed by the Austrian architect Hans Roth and opened on 1 October 2009. Over the years it has grown into a wider complex with a driver training centre, a hotel, an off-road area and a karting centre. International meetings for cars, trucks and motorcycles share the calendar with public track sessions for cars and motorcycles, track car rental, circuit driving schools for cars and motorcycles and testing.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The main layout, Variant 4, measures 5,922 m. For FIA Grade 2 approval a chicane was added at turn 9, completed on 9 April 2018, which created Variant 4b of 5,935 m. In all there are seven variants of different lengths, and two of them, Variants 3 and 5, can run at the same time as two independent tracks. The racing surface is 12 m wide. The start-finish straight, 20 m wide, runs 900 m. Four artificial crests add elevation change, and a hump on one of the straights is known for lifting the front wheels of some cars; the hump between turns 2 and 3 was rebuilt before the 2014 season. Its long-radius corners have been described as hard on rear-engined Porsches. The fastest race lap on Variant 4, 1:43.115, was set by Andreas Zuber in a GP2 car in 2010, and on Variant 4b Klaas Zwart lapped in 1:45.932 in a Jaguar R5 Formula One car in 2019.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The first construction stage, finished in May 2010, delivered the circuit with 33 race garages in sizes of 8 x 5 m and 10 x 5 m, a control tower, timing, a VIP room with a terrace, grandstands, a restaurant, a medical centre, a fuel station and service buildings. The main covered grandstand, A, gives a view over much of the circuit. A driving academy, now the Centre of Safe Driving and described as the first professional driver training centre in Slovakia, followed in 2010 together with VIP garages. An off-road terrain course and the three-star Hotel Ring opened by 2012, the Malkia Park animal rescue centre in 2016, a military museum in 2018 and the Slovak Karting Center in 2019. The site also has a camper park.
History
Planning began around 2005 and 2006, with support from the Trnava Self-Governing Region and the village of Orechová Potôň. Construction started on 1 October 2008 and the circuit was opened exactly a year later. It soon drew international championships: the FIA GT3 European Championship in 2011, the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2012, the FIA GT Series in 2013 and the Blancpain GT Series in 2014. The World Touring Car Championship held its Race of Slovakia from 2012 to 2016, and its successor WTCR raced here from 2018 to 2020. Motorcycles came with the FIM Endurance World Championship from 2017 to 2019 and the Sidecar World Championship in 2018, and TCR Europe visited in 2021. The FIA European Truck Racing Championship first came in 2017 and the TCR Eastern Europe series in 2019.
