F1 fans are up in arms over the future of one FIA-graded circuit
The Poznan Circuit is the only FIA-graded track in Poland, achieving Grade 3 status in 2006, suitable for GT, Formula Regional, and Formula E races.
Despite being Grade 3, Formula 1 has never raced at the Poznan Circuit, which has hosted events like Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe and TCR Eastern European.
In 2023, the track faced closure due to noise complaints and a violation of noise regulations, resulting in the loss of its FIA homologation.
The decision was made after appeals were rejected, leading to the track’s closure as an installation, marking the end of motorsport activities at Poland’s only graded facility.
Concerns were raised about the implications for young drivers and the future of motorsports in Poland, with hopes for a possible reopening of the Poznan Circuit in the future.
