Madrid to Host Spanish Grand Prix from 2026
Agreement with IFEMA MADRID
10-Year Deal Secured
Formula 1 (F1) has announced that the Spanish Grand Prix will be held in Madrid from 2026 to 2035. The announcement follows an agreement with IFEMA MADRID, the organizers of the Madrid Motor Show.
The Spanish Grand Prix has been held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló since 1991. However, the race has been under threat in recent years due to the high cost of hosting the event.
The move to Madrid is a major coup for the city. It will be the first time that F1 has been held in Madrid since 1981, when the race was held at the Jarama circuit.
The Spanish Grand Prix is one of the most popular races on the F1 calendar, and it is expected to attract large crowds to Madrid. The race will also be a major boost to the local economy.
The new race will be held on a street circuit in the center of Madrid, designed by renowned race circuit designer Hermann Tilke. The circuit will be approximately 5 kilometers long and will feature 23 corners.
The Spanish Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious races in the world, and it is a major addition to the F1 calendar. The move to Madrid is a sign of the growing popularity of F1 in Spain, and it is a testament to the city's commitment to hosting major sporting events.
