Tilke GmbH & Co. KG

Motorsport Racing Track “Istanbul Park Circuit”

Tilke Engineers & Architects, established in 1983 and recognized as the world’s leading one-stop shop for race track and test facility design, is a world-class German firm specializing in Formula 1 and MotoGP track design, test & proving grounds, club tracks, and infrastructure architecture. In their planning, the team relies on VESTRA, as seen in the racing circuits in Bahrain, Shanghai, and Istanbul. The latter was built according to Tilke’s plans on an area of about two million square meters. The track has a length of 5.333 km and offers drivers good overtaking opportunities with widths ranging from 12.5 to 21.5 meters. The longest straight section is 720 meters long, where top speeds of up to 320 km/h are reached. In the planning process, the Aachen-based engineering firm used VESTRA (based on AutoCAD).
