Baku GP could move to artificial island

Azerbaijan’s Formula 1 race could eventually move away from its current Baku street circuit under plans for a major new artificial island development in the Caspian Sea.

Sea Breeze has announced a cooperation agreement with Chinese infrastructure giant CSCEC Infrastructure for the Fire Island project, a 268-hectare artificial island within the wider Sea Breeze resort development.
