In 2024, following the race, Baku returned to its normal rhythm at record speed: within just 16 hours,60% of the protective barriers were dismantled and removed, and the city was fully restored within a single day.
Thus, both the successful organization of the race and the daily comfort of residents are ensured in parallel.
