Sochi Autodrom is well integrated into the Olympic Park. The well-developed infrastructure - in close proximity to the Olympic Park and Sochi Autodrom - includes a wide range of modern hotels of different categories and a convenient transport network, with a nearby airport and a transport hub with train and bus connections. Sochi Autodrom is one of the few Formula 1 venues to have team buildings specially constructed near the pit boxes. These buildings allow teams to operate away from their motorhomes, thereby simplifying logistics considerably. Sochi Autodrom Race Control building is the first in the world to have a video control system with Real- Time Full HD technology - ensuring high quality images on 56 screens tracking the cars. The system is based on data collected from 48 Speed Dome cameras located on the perimeter of the racing track. On the eve of the 2017 FORMULA 1 VTB RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX, the TecPro safety barriers system in the second, fourth and thirteenth turns was strengthened according to the new requirements of the FIA, dictated by the increased speeds of the cars.
