In 2008 Valencia hosted the European Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first
time. The race takes place on the streets of the city around the port area
rather than at the racetrack on the outskirts of Valencia. The Spanish Grand
Prix continues to take place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
The race itself
takes place on a freshly designed 4.1 and
4.3 km long circuit. The length and harbourside location is very reminiscent of
the Monaco Grand Prix.
The design of the track was created by the designer of the sport’s most modern tracks,
Hermann Tilke and is said to be very tight and snaky. However, without being
able to view the actual roads it is virtually impossible to determine their
drivability.
Grand Prix supremo Bernie Ecclestone insisted that the race be held
within the city rather than Ricardo Tormo which is a nearby track in Cheste.
This particular track hosts a round of the world championship
MotoGP and is also
a Formula One testing spot.
