MADRID F1 Track’s Distinctive Features

1 years ago By Sports Desk

Formula 1 is about to enter an exciting new chapter, with Madrid on the calendar as host of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix from 2026. It’s a challenge for both drivers and fans. Let’s explore what makes this exciting track unique.

Madrid’s strategic location:
The circuit is located in the Barajas district, centered around the IFEMA Madrid exhibition centre. Ideally located a short walk from Adolfo Suárez Airport and only 16 kilometers from the city centre, it is easily accessible by car, bus, train and metro and is perfectly connected to the city’s main transport routes.

Challenging Layout:
After intense negotiations and modeling, F1 has settled on an exciting layout for the track, which will be 5.474 kilometers long and feature 20 challenging corners. From high-speed corners to hairpin turns, long straights and fast acceleration, the track will offer a unique combination of elements that will test driver skills in a variety of conditions.

Street and Permanent Track Combination:
The new track will use public roads and private land. This combination would provide sections with a street track feel, similar to what we’ve seen in Miami, and more in line with a permanent layout with other regional characteristics. The project’s versatility guarantees a unique experience.

Tunnels and special facades:
An interesting feature is the presence of an elevated highway between the two areas of the track. This configuration will form two short tunnel sections, providing an exciting transition between the Recinto Ferial complex and the Valdebebas extension. The section between Turns 7 and 9, which drops sharply after the tunnel, promises to be a highlight, with steep inclines challenging for drivers.

INNOVATIVE GARAGE AND PADDOCKS
The pit garage will be divided into two sides of a central section, extending into Efema’s extensive hall network. This innovative design places parts of the paddock, such as the team’s hospitality units, in an enclosed environment, providing a unique experience for teams and spectators.

Estimated arrival 2026:
With the new track, Madrid plans to join the F1 calendar from 2026. But before the engine roars and the starting light goes off, there’s one important step to take. The project must go from concept to detailed development, through approvals, coordination and safety assessments to obtain a Level 1 track license.

Madrid will be the center of attention for F1, with a unique circuit with exciting features. Fans and drivers alike are looking forward to the excitement of the FRAN PREMIO D’ESPAÑA in Madrid as the city prepares for this exciting chapter in motorsport.
