A little history
The Spanish Motor Racing Grand Prix was held for the first time in 1913 on a 300 km road circuit between Madrid and Valladolid. But one thing is a speed grand prix and another thing is that this grand prix is valid for the Formula 1 world championship. 1951 was the first year that the Spanish Grand Prix was part of Formula 1. For 5 years the race was held at the Pedralbes circuit in Barcelona and, for security reasons and other circumstances, the Spanish Grand Prix went on and off the Formula 1 calendar for several years. The races were run on different circuits: Jarama, Montjuïc and Jerez. The Jerez circuit hosted the Formula 1 race between 1986 and 1990, and in 1991 the Spanish Grand Prix moved to the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit, which is located in the town of Montmeló, 39 km from Barcelona . Since 1991, the Formula 1 cars have not stopped roaring on the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.
