Description	: Poznan, an wood-around circuit in western Poland, open in 1977, the first permanent racing circuit in that Eastern European nation, built still under Communist Poland, the third permanent racing circuit in the former Socialist Bloc (after Bikernieki in 1966 and Chayka in 1975, both in USSR). However, despite its 45 years of history, the circuit held few international races, like Formula Easter (Cup of Peace and Friendship of Socialist Countries) in the 1980s, and recently the European Truck Championship in 2023. A hidden gem in Europe, an interesting track layout, fast corners and two long straights. Directed by the Greater Poland Automobil Club, Poznan has a little more of 4 kms, working as a regional pole for motorsport. This GP2 version is an conversion from the GP3 version. You can regnize some Robert Kubica's Formula One cars sponsors at this circuit. It's a tribute for the most important Polish racing driver in history, who could had reach higher if he hadn't got that crash in 2011.
