Pedralbes Circuit – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners
Where in the world
Every circuit that has hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Marker size shows how many, and green marks the circuits on this year’s calendar.
The Pedralbes Circuit, a 6.316 km street circuit on broad avenues in the Pedralbes district of western Barcelona, Spain, hosted the Spanish Grand Prix in 1951 and 1954. The high-speed boulevard layout produced top speeds approaching the limits of 1950s machinery. F1 abandoned the venue after the 1955 Le Mans disaster led Spain to also restrict street racing — and Spain\'s F1 presence vanished for over a decade until Jarama.
