The Athens Circuit

The Athens Circuit was Greece's first permanent circuit, opened a few months before the country's only other circuit, Serres. The track is a multipurpose area that can be used for any type of vehicle or motorcycle activity. The track, which is located on the outskirts of the town of Megara, is only 35 kilometers from Athens, explaining its recent name change.

The track is 2.1 kilometers long, with six right bends and four left turns with an average width of 11-12 meters. With the longest straight measuring only 580 meters, this is not a facility for getting a head of steam, more similar to an oversized kart track. While there is a comprehensive kart facility adjacent to the main track, karts have also been known to use abbreviated versions of the road circuit.

The circuit has featured domestic car and motorbike racing, as well as events for McLaren and Prodrive, a Ferrari festival, and even a Supermotard world championship race. The Greek economy's collapse has had an unavoidable impact on circuit operations, with few racing events currently scheduled. Things have improved slightly in recent years, with track day events serving as the circuit's staple of activity.
