Since its inauguration in 1991, the Catalunya Circuit has established itself as one of the most modern sports facilities in the world, hosting some of the best international motor sports events such as the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Cataluyna MotoGP Grand Prix. The circuit offers multi-purpose facilities including a restaurant, media centre, and a heliport.
Circuit de Catalunya enjoys a privileged location; with only 32km between the circuit and Barcelona and 18km from the Costa de Barcelona. The Circuit is also benefits from being located between two major roads.
It is considered one of the best designed circuits of the recent era. The circuit consists of 8 right-hand and 5 left-hand corners as well as 3 magnificent sweeping, fast curves and 2 long, power-sapping straights.
This fantastic circuit never disappoints. Sell-out crowds and being on the doorstep of one of Europe's greatest cultural cities helps to make it a favourite on the MotoGP calendar.
