Azerbaijani banks will work in enhanced mode from June 23 to June 25.

This decision was made to ensure that the residents of Baku and thousands of tourists, who will visit Azerbaijan during the Formula 1, are provided with unhindered access to banking services, in particular the currency exchange.

As many as 60 branches and offices of 24 banks located in Baku will work in enhanced mode, according to recommendations of the Financial Market Supervisory Body.

The 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix kicked off in Baku on June 23. The event is the second successive Formula 1 race staged on the streets of Azerbaijan’s capital city.

Overall 18,000 spectators are expected to watch from the grandstands, and a minimum of 10,000 spectators will enjoy the race from the standing areas.

The third edition of Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be held on April 27-29, 2018, according to a provisional calendar by the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

The next year’s Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be the fourth race on the calendar.
