Excitement is building ahead of F1’s return to Madrid.
The general manager of the Madring, F1’s newest venue, has confirmed a test event before the circuit’s debut at the Spanish Grand Prix in September. The 5.4-kilometer track includes a blend of permanent circuit and public roads for a total of 22 turns. Construction has progressed steadily, meeting major milestones on schedule despite prior uncertainties surrounding the project. The circuit offers a mix of slow, medium, and fast corners, providing a technical challenge and multiple overtaking opportunities. Key features include the ‘La Monumental’ banked corner, the high-speed ‘Hortazela,’ and cars reaching 340kph at the fastest point on the track. Spectators can also witness cars plunge into a tunnel at Turn 18 before completing the lap.
