Race Grid Guide

Special 2026 dates: Baku runs Thursday 24 to Saturday 26 September, not the normal Friday-to-Sunday pattern. Gate, road and entertainment details should be rechecked in the final organiser guide.

Baku City Circuit grandstands explained

A practical overview of the official 2026 seating inventory without inventing row-level visibility.

01

Absheron sections

Absheron A to E span the principal main-straight complex. The official shop distinguishes covered seating for the C products and marks wheelchair access for E; always verify the live product icons before purchase.

02

Around the city loop

Named stands extend from the Old City and Azneft area to boulevard and final-sector locations. Each creates a different balance of braking, acceleration, scenery and access to central Baku.

03

What is not claimed

Official maps are approximate under the ticket terms. This guide will not invent row-level shade, fence obstruction or screen angles; those details require a current seating chart or verified first-hand evidence.
