Volgoring Circuit is a 3.57-mile (5.745-km) road course in Volgograd, Russia. It hosted the TM Master Cup Series Round of Russia from 2008-2010.
Round of Russia[edit | edit source]
The 2010 event was originally scheduled to host the 12th round of the season, but was postponed after wildfires broke out in western Russia a week before the race. The event was instead the 17th round, and was run on the same day as the Round of Alabama. TM Master Cup Series officials barred drivers from competing in both events and, to add cars to the small entry list, relaxed the chassis rules and allowed several local teams to compete. The 21 car starting lineup included one of Alexis Rainsford's show cars from 2008, and a 2007 Lenard. The roster of drivers included many who had never before started a Master Cup race and have never attempted one since.
