About the Circuit

Catalunya remains on the calendar for 2026 under a new name—the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix—after the Spanish Grand Prix title moved to Madrid's new Madring street circuit. One of the most well-known venues in F1 thanks to decades of pre-season testing, its variety of corner types from the high-speed Turn 3 to the slow final chicane makes it an excellent all-round test of a car's capabilities.

Famous Corners

Turn 1Elf

A long, downhill right-hander taken under heavy braking at the end of the start/finish straight. The primary overtaking opportunity on the lap.
Turn 3Renault

A long, fast right-hander that's one of the most aerodynamically demanding corners of the calendar, sustaining over 4 g of lateral load.
Turn 9Campsa

A blind, uphill right-hander where the car goes light at the apex. A defining commitment corner that separates the great drivers.
Turn 10La Caixa

A slow left-hander at the start of the technical final sector. The exit speed sets up the long run back to the line.
