00:05So for anyone, even if it doesn't matter if you're a big F1 fan or you're someone who is new to the sports,

00:13Baku is the best place to start the action.

00:30Our expectations are around 13,000 people this year, which is mostly Western Europe, Americas, Asia, Middle East.

00:40So people are from everywhere coming to Azerbaijan for the Grand Prix.

00:45Being a major sport to win in the region definitely attracts visitors from all over the world.

00:51And Baku is a unique mix of wide streets and narrow corners where definitely the results of the race are unexpected.

01:01For example, all the way from turn 16 to turn 1, this is the most wide street that you will have here,

01:07which lets the car hit the speed of 368, 378 in fact, which was done by Bottas in 2016.

01:17And then you have the most narrow turn, which is turn 8. The corner is 7.6 meters wide.

01:22So imagine how wide is one side of the circuit and how tight is the other one.

01:29Safety is always number one priority for us.

01:32We have fully integrated HC team who collaborate with the city traffic police,

01:37with the Ministry of Emergency Situations and medical services to make sure that all deliver it

01:51After 8 years of experience of install and removing Baku City circuit, we gained invaluable experience.

01:58A key step forward was to upgrade our circuit barrier system.

02:02This allows us to reduce the installation time from 7 weeks to 5.

02:06Thanks to this improvement, we plan to remove all the circuit infrastructure within 12 hours

02:12to allow the city traffic for operations.

02:15Thanks to this improvement, we achieved a record-breaking turnaround.

02:19Additionally, we increased our grandstand seats capacity by adding two new grandstands, Champions and Madden.

02:27In total, gaining more than 20,000 spectator seats available for our customers.

02:34Even for me, working on this project more than 10 years from the scratch,

02:39every year brings new challenges, every year facing us with new surprises.

02:44Come for the ways, stay for the city.

02:47The culture, food, hospitality will win you over.

02:50Is it over?!

02:55It's over.
