Autodrom Saint Petersburg (Russian: Автодром Санкт-Петербург) is a permanent motorsport facility in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The motorsport complex was opened in the autumn of 2010 in the south of Saint Petersburg, in the Shushary settlement.^[2] The route has a total length of 3.073 km (1.909 mi) with a width of 12 to 16 m (13 to 17 yd) and can be used in three variants:

• Configuration A 3.073 km (1.909 mi) with 7 right and 4 left turns
• Configuration B 1.820 km (1.131 mi) with 5 right and 2 left turns

The tracks are used for national automobile and motorcycle races, including drag race events.^[3] In 2011 a run for the Russian Touring Car Championship (RTCC) took place on the track.^[1]

There is also a sports driving school on the site that trains racing drivers and offers driver safety training.^[4]
