Valencia Grand PrixIn 2008 the venue for the European Grand Prix moved from Nürburgring in Germany to Valencia so the Valencia Formula One Grand Prix was born. The race resembles the Monaco Grand Prix as the track runs through the streets of the city around the recently developed port area. The tight 5.47km track was designed by Hermann Tilke and consists of a total of 25 turns making it one of the more challenging circuits on the grand prix calendar.
During the planning stage Grand Prix supremo Bernie Ecclestone insisted that the race be held within the city rather than at Ricardo Tormo which is a nearby track in Cheste. This particular venue hosts a round of the world championship MotoGP and is also a Formula One testing spot. The Spanish Grand Prix continues to take place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. Winners of the Valencia Grand Prix to date are as follows: 2011 Sebastian Vettel 2010 Sebastian Vettel 2009 Rubens Barrichello 2008 Felipe Massa
