Welcome to the Circuito de Madring, located on the edge of Madrid within the grounds of the IFEMA Exhibition Centre, the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix.
This circuit's hybrid mix of street and purpose-built sections, along with a signature banked corner and significant elevation change, make it a comprehensive test of a car's aerodynamic efficiency and mechanical grip.
It debuts on the Formula 1 calendar in 2026, taking over the Spanish Grand Prix from Barcelona. With no prior racing data to draw on, teams and drivers arrive with limited real-world reference for how the track will behave.
Circuit Overview:
The Circuito de Madring is a 22-turn, 5.416 km (3.365 miles) hybrid layout that blends fast urban sections with a purpose-built showpiece corner.
The lap opens with a 589-metre main straight into a heavy-braking chicane at Turn 1, where cars are expected to slow from 320 km/h to 100 km/h. From there, the track runs through the "Curva de Hortaleza" and into a fast urban section reaching a predicted top speed of 340 km/h.
The middle of the lap features a tight sequence at Turns 5 and 6, a chicane beneath a highway overpass , before the circuit's standout feature: La Monumental, a 24-degree banked turn inspired by Las Ventas bullring, completed in roughly six seconds. The lap concludes through a fast Esses section and a slower final complex back onto the main straight.
