Later this year, after the Olympics and Paralympics are over, Sochi will host the first Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix race. The course will be a street circuit course that runs 3.6 miles around the Olympics venues.

And four years from now, Russia will also host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the Fisht Olympic Stadium will be one of the venues hosting the games.

Now I'm torn. On the one hand I don't like Russia, but on the other, I do like street circuits.

Wow, Brazil then Russia. FIFA done good.

Wow, Brazil then Russia. FIFA done good.

At least the World Cup after that isn't held in a country where homosexuality is illegal and slavery isn't.

...oh.

[Old Manus]

But Psy they already have all the stadiums and infrastructure built already so it's the perfect loca - oh.

[Mo-Nercy]

I hope it's a street circuit done right like Melbourne or Montreal, not Valencia.

Street circuits are basically road courses that are formed from regular streets, with blockades being put up in order to keep the racers on course; it is trickier than a regular road course, which is a strict race track.
