Two races in Spain
There is great anticipation for the absolute debut of the Spanish Grand Prix, which unlike previous championships will take place this year on the Madrid street circuit between September 11 and 13. Together with Barcelona, which from 2027 will alternate with Spa-Francorchamps, the country will therefore host two races this season, one of which on the newly created Madring track, not yet completed.

Everything according to plan
The work, however, is proceeding regularly and smoothly, with the track and facilities set to be ready by May. Further reassurances came from the General Director of Madring, Luis Garcia Abad: “We continue to respect the scheduled times to reach all our main objectives and, day after day, there is a real buzz around Ifema Madrid, as we continue to build a world-class and long-term Formula 1 venue in Spain, at Madring,” he stated.
The test before the official start
In addition to confirming the status of the work, Abad also indicated that, upon completion, a test will be held: “The completion of the work is expected in the coming months, as scheduled – he added – at that point we will be ready to organize a test event and pass all the final checks with Formula 1 and the FIA ahead of the September race.”
