About Circuito del Jarama
Circuito del Jarama is a 3.850 km, twisty 16-turn motor racing circuit in San Sebastián de los Reyes, on the northern outskirts of Madrid, Spain. Designed by Dutch architect John Hugenholtz (also responsible for Suzuka and Zandvoort) and built by Alessandro Rocci in 1966–67, Jarama officially opened on 1 July 1967 and hosted a non-championship F1 demonstration race in November 1967 — required at the time by FIA regulations before a circuit could host a World Championship Grand Prix. The Spanish Grand Prix was held at Jarama nine times between 1968 and 1981 (memorably won by Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari in 1981, defending from a four-car train across the final laps), and the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix 15 times between 1969 and 1988. Now a permanent fixture of the Spanish national racing calendar and a popular trackday venue.
