The Sirius Autodrom (Russian: Сириус Автодром, romanized: Sirius Avtodrom), known before 2024 as Sochi Autodrom (Russian: Сочи Автодром, romanized: Sochi Avtodrom)[2] and originally as the Sochi International Street Circuit[3] and the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit, is a 5.848 km (3.634 mi) permanent race track in the settlement of Sirius next to the Black Sea resort city of Sochi in Krasnodar Krai, Russia.[4][5]
The circuit runs around a former Olympic complex, the Sochi Olympic Park site, scene of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. The TCR International Series raced at Sochi in 2015 and 2016.
The inaugural World Championship Russian Grand Prix took place in 2014, with the circuit hosting the Grand Prix up to 2021. The contract was terminated before the 2022 edition due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
