About Circuit Ricardo Tormo
Circuit Ricardo Tormo is a 4.005 km, 14-corner (9 left / 5 right) anticlockwise motor racing circuit in Cheste, around 20 km west of Valencia, Spain — the traditional season-finale of the MotoGP world championship calendar. The circuit was officially opened on 19 September 1999 and hosted its first MotoGP round that same year. Although the racing surface itself is fairly small at 4 km, the venue is built as a "circuit within a stadium" — every grandstand seat has a near-complete view of the entire track — giving it a uniquely intimate amphitheatre feel and capacity for up to 150,000 spectators (around 120,000 typically attend the MotoGP finale). The circuit is named in honour of Spanish two-time 50cc world champion Ricardo Tormo (1952–1998), who died of leukemia just months before the venue opened. The main straight runs 876 m to Turn 1, the best overtaking spot on the track, and the long Turn 13 (Curva del Estadio) is the most challenging corner on the layout. Ricardo Tormo also hosts the post-season MotoGP and WSBK winter tests, the Spanish round of the Superbike World Championship, the Spanish national CEV championship and Formula E. After devastating floods hit the Valencia region in October–November 2024, the 2024 Valencian Grand Prix was replaced by the Solidarity Grand Prix at Barcelona-Catalunya, with the MotoGP finale returning to Cheste in 2025.
