Starting in 2026, the Spanish Grand Prix will be held at the brand-new MADRING circuit in Madrid instead of Barcelona. Constructed around IFEMA Madrid and extending into the Valdebebas neighborhood, the venue features street-style corners, permanent racing sections, and even "La Monumental," a banked curve.
However, the Spanish Grand Prix will be more than just a race. The event is more than just a Grand Prix; it's a complete motorsport festival, with a jam-packed schedule of on-track activities and fan entertainment.
This is your guide to what fans can anticipate and what is planned.
The highlight of the weekend is, of course, the Formula 1 action itself:
With a 5.47 km layout, 22 corners, elevation changes, and a banked turn, the new track is designed for wheel-to-wheel racing and dramatic moments.
Fans can anticipate the standard lineup of support categories, including Formula 2, Formula 3, Porsche Supercup, and F1 Academy, in addition to Formula 1. Competitive racing fills the mornings and early afternoons of these series, adding value to the weekend.
One of the main reasons weekend passes are worthwhile is because support races frequently feature some of the most thrilling on-track battles of the weekend.
Through F1 Experiences packages, fans will be able to join Pit Lane walks, behind-the-scenes tours, and exclusive hospitality access. These usually take place on Thursday or Friday and give fans the chance to see the garages, cars, and team preparations up close.
If you want more than just watching from the grandstands, these packages are the way to go.
The MADRING organizers have confirmed that there will be kid-friendly areas, merchandising booths, gastronomic areas, concerts, and fan zones during the race. These will provide fans with entertainment in between sessions and run concurrently with the racing schedule.
As is already typical at races like Abu Dhabi and Singapore, expect a mix of live music, entertainment acts, and interactive experiences.
In the build-up to the Grand Prix, Madrid is planning unique city activations linked to the event. For example, Puerta del Sol will host an F1 simulator installation and a scale replica of the track as part of promotional activities.
These tie-ins make the Spanish GP feel like a city-wide event, not just something happening at the circuit.
Ahead of the inaugural race, demonstrations have already taken place — including Carlos Sainz driving a Williams FW45 on a temporary 1.1 km circuit near IFEMA to showcase the new layout. Expect similar exhibition laps or show runs to be part of future race weekends in Madrid.
The MADRING circuit itself will be part of the entertainment:
These elements will not only define the racing but also the views and on-track experiences for fans.
There will be much more to the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid than just another race. In one of the liveliest cities in Europe, the on-track events will create a festival-like atmosphere with support series, pit lane walks, concerts, fan zones, exhibitions, and city activations.
In the center of Madrid, it offers fans the ideal fusion of immersive entertainment and state-of-the-art Formula 1 action.
