Madring is the brand-new home of the Spanish Grand Prix from the 2026 season, a hybrid street-and-permanent circuit laid out around the IFEMA exhibition centre in the Valdebebas district on the north-eastern edge of Madrid. Designed by Carsten Tilke, the 5.47-kilometre lap mixes purpose-built racing sections with public-road stretches, and arrives on a long-term contract intended to make the Spanish capital a fixture on the calendar.

The layout has 22 corners. It features a long main straight where cars are expected to top 340 km/h, a tunnel section, and a dramatic banked corner called La Monumental that sweeps through up to 24 degrees of banking. Two DRS zones and the heavy braking zone at the end of the main straight are meant to encourage overtaking, answering the criticism that modern Tilke circuits can be processional. As a brand-new venue, how it races won’t be clear until the cars run on it for the first time.

Madrid’s arrival is the headline change to the 2026 calendar: the Madring takes the Spanish Grand Prix name and the September date, while Barcelona-Catalunya keeps a separate June round, the first time since 2012 that Spain has hosted two World Championship races in a season. The new circuit also took the calendar slot vacated by Imola. Tickets for the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring went on sale ahead of its September 2026 debut.
