auto24ring (also known as Audru Ring, Pärnu Ring, Sauga Ring and EST-Ring) is a motor racing circuit in Papsaare, near Pärnu, Estonia. It is operated by A2 Racing MTÜ〔http://ringrada.ee/?a=a009&b=3299〕 and is the only permanent road circuit in Estonia. The track has two configurations, the Grand Prix circuit, and the Long Circuit. The circuit hosts rounds of Baltic Touring Car Championship and other Estonian, Finnish, Baltic and North European Zone events. ==History== The first competitions at the location of the circuit were held in 1930's. The original layout, called ''Sauga Kolmnurk'' (Sauga Triangle), was a 6.1 km long circuit utilising three public roads: ''Nurme tee'', ''Sulu-Papsaare tee'' and ''Haapsalu maantee''.〔http://www.ussr-autosport.ru/tracks/sauga.html〕〔http://f1cel.eu/foorum/viewthread.php?tid=1455〕 Racing activities at the Kolmnurk ceased in late 1960s.〔http://audruring.ee/?page_id=2〕 A new circuit, designed by Enn Teppand was built in 1989–90. This 3.668 km long layout included one of the corners of the original Kolmnurk as well as two, shortened, straights on ''Nurme tee'' and ''Haapsalu maantee''. There was also a new section introduced consisting another public road and a short purpose build section.〔〔 In 2000, construction of the current circuit begun. The current circuit, opened in 2001, is designed to minimize the use of public roads. The 2.173 km〔http://www.audruring.ee/〕 long layout uses the sections added in 1990 plus a new straight and a chicane. A 350m long straight on Nurme tee is all that remains of the original 30's circuit.〔〔 There are plans to modernise and extend the circuit. New 3.200 km track would be build to meet FIA Grade 3 and FIM Grade B standards.〔http://www.audru.ee/files/documents/planeeringud/834_AudruRingrada_seletuskiri1.pdf〕〔http://www.audru.ee/files/documents/planeeringud/834_AudruRingrada_plan_Tehnovorgud.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auto24ring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
