Escorted Holiday Tour Package
This 'Road Trip' Tour is designed for those that cannot fly and want a relaxed scenic journey with a few surprises along the way.
Construction of Madrid's Madring circuit has begun, with organisers in the Spanish capital laying the foundation stone for the venue that will host the Spanish Grand Prix as part of a long-term deal announced last year.
Madrid-born Williams driver Carlos Sainz, is announced as the circuit’s ambassador.
Madrid will become the only European capital city to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, with a project that has received strong backing from both the Community of Madrid and the City Council since its inception.
Set to be constructed around the IFEMA MADRID exhibition centre fairgrounds and the expansion north east of the city, the 5.4km layout will feature 22 corners – two more than originally proposed – including La Monumental at Turn 12, a 24% banked bend that stretches 550 metres, which Sainz highlighted as the potential icon of the circuit.
