2020 is throwing up one of the most unpredictable seasons in Formula 1 history. The racing action has been fiercer than ever, with every race proving to be a must-watch. It has also thrown up the opportunity to visit some old favourites, and in November, the Turkish Grand Prix will be making a welcome return to the calendar. The fast Istanbul circuit quickly became a favourite among fans and drivers alike, not least for the challenge of turn 8, a sweeping left-hander with four apexes for the drivers to nail. Away from the track, Turkey’s biggest city Istanbul is full of culture. From breath-taking Roman and Byzantine architecture to its incredible fusion of cuisines, no-one leaves Istanbul unsatisfied.
Istanbul’s history dates back to 300BC, when it was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. The city is littered historical landmarks unlike you’ll see anywhere else. But the modern city also has a bustling nightlife, making it a great place to unwind after the race.
Turkey's cuisine is influenced by Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian dishes, creating an incredible fusion of flavours. Authentic dishes you'll be enjoying between sessions include Baklava, Kebabs, Mezzes, and Turkish tea and coffee.
Intercity Istanbul Park circuit is renowned for being particularly quick. The drivers spend 70% of a lap at full throttle, with Lewis Hamilton clocking a top speed of 200mph at the last outing in 2011. the cars have evolved leaps and bounds since then, so it's an exciting opportunity to see the cars pushed to their limit.
If an F1 fan thinks Turkey, they'll think "Turn 8". A magnificent sweeping corner has four apexes the drivers have to nail. It's truly thrilling to watch if they manage to handle the car around it.
General admission tickets for the Turkish Grand Prix start as low as just £14, but decent grandstand weekend tickets start at just £111. With return flights from London to Istanbul around £100, this could be the perfect race for those who want to see racing on a budget.
