Madring shares new photos ahead of Madrid’s maiden GP
New photos show progress at Madrid’s Madring circuit ahead of its first Formula 1 Grand Prix on September 11–13.
New images released this week reveal ongoing construction and preparations at the Madring circuit in Madrid as the venue nears its debut Formula 1 race. The photos, shared ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, depict trackside infrastructure, pit lane installations, and spectator areas under development. The circuit is scheduled to host Round 14 of the 2024 championship during the weekend of September 11–13, marking Madrid’s first appearance on the F1 calendar.
The circuit has already hosted early track activity, with Ferrari becoming the first team to run a Formula 1 car on the Madring surface in July. Home driver Carlos Sainz completed demonstration laps earlier in the year, providing an initial assessment of the track’s characteristics. These early runs offered preliminary insights into the circuit’s layout and surface conditions ahead of the full championship event.
Madrid’s inclusion in the Formula 1 calendar follows years of planning and investment to bring a Grand Prix to the Spanish capital. The Madring circuit is designed to integrate modern safety standards with a layout intended to challenge drivers. Organizers have emphasized logistical preparations, including transport links and venue accessibility, to accommodate teams, media, and spectators for the three-day event.
Formula 1 has highlighted the significance of Madrid’s addition to the calendar, positioning the race as a key moment for the sport’s expansion in Europe. The Spanish Grand Prix at Madring will follow the traditional summer break, with practice sessions, qualifying, and the main race scheduled across the September weekend. Officials have confirmed that ticket sales and final operational details are progressing as planned.
