The Formula 1 Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025, which will be held in Baku on September 19-21, is just days away from its start.
İdman.biz reports that the roar of engines will once again be heard on the streets of the capital during the race week, and our capital will become the center of world motorsport.
More than 12,000 foreign tourists are expected to come to Baku during the race days. According to official statistics, foreigners made up more than 80 percent of the spectators last year. Even many guests came to our capital simply to experience the "Formula 1" atmosphere without buying tickets. According to the figures presented by Formula 1, 55 percent of fans are ready to recommend the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to their friends, and 72 percent plan to return in the next two years.
According to the indicators, the average expenditure of a foreign fan exceeds 2,200 US dollars, which makes the Grand Prix an important driving force for the development of tourism and entrepreneurship.
In 2024, the number of people watching the Azerbaijan Grand Prix live exceeded 86 million, and the number of people interested in the race on various platforms exceeded 3.9 billion viewers.
Taking into account the interest in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, two new grandstands have been built in 2025. Tickets for 10 out of 12 grandstands have already been completely sold out. The total capacity will exceed 20,000 people, which further strengthens Baku's position on the "Formula 1" map.
Thousands of people are involved in the preparation work for the race. More than 2,000 engineers, technicians, assemblers and logisticians participate in construction and installation works. For the convenience of residents, the work is mainly carried out at night. During the race week, this team is joined by an additional 1,500 employees, 2,000 volunteers and 1,400 marshals.
If in the first years a large part of the work fell to foreign companies, today the entire process is carried out by local contractors. This creates conditions for both the creation of new jobs and the increase of experience of local specialists. Thus, the Grand Prix is not only a sports competition, but also a strong development platform for the country's economy.
The head director of Baku City Circuit Operations Company, Maqsud Farzullayev, invites fans to enjoy both the exciting race and the hospitality of Azerbaijan: "Last year was remembered with records. Thanks to global interest, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is already one of the must-see races on the Formula 1 calendar. 2025 will be even more spectacular. Thanks to the two new grandstands, the event will have the largest audience capacity in history. For the first time, the exclusive "Formula 1 Champions Club" will operate, offering pit lane views, paddock tours and other unique opportunities. This will give more fans the opportunity to watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix live.
The world's strongest pilots are returning to Baku and unforgettable moments await us! Baku City Circuit remains true to its tradition and is ready for surprises. If the speed on the track seems too slow for you, just wait for the night: on September 19, DJ Anyma, and on September 20, world stars Martin Garrix and Glass Animals will present a spectacular show to the fans".
