Russian Formula 1 Track on Course for 2014 Race

Organizers of the Russian Formula 1 track in Sochi, Russia, say that the track is in the final stages of construction and will be ready for its 2014 race debut. Portions of the track complex will also be used during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. 

"Many massive Olympic venues are already built, some sport facilities have been put in commission, while the motorsport venue is in the active phase of construction. Construction crews are making good progress with the preparing of groundworks and laying of the asphalt coat. The first layer of pavement has been laid in some areas," said the organizers in a written statement. 

Hermann Tilke designed the 5.95km, 16-corner circuit.
