Race Tracks in Spain

Spain is one of the world's great two-wheel motorsport nations and a mainstay of the international car-racing calendar, with a cluster of purpose-built circuits stretching from the Basque country to Andalucía. MotoGP alone visits four Spanish venues each season — Jerez, Barcelona-Catalunya, MotorLand Aragón and Ricardo Tormo — while Formula 1 moves to a new hybrid street circuit at Madrid's IFEMA exhibition park, Madring, from 2026. Beneath the top tier sits a deep network of national-championship road courses (Jarama, Navarra, Albacete, Almería, Calafat, Castellolí, Cartagena, Monteblanco), a members'-club circuit at Ascari, and dozens of karting tracks, motocross venues and closed-road hillclimbs that feed Spain's Campeonato de España championships. Barcelona and Madrid are the thickest clusters, each within an hour or two of several circuits, while the country's motorsport history runs through three closed street and road circuits — Montjuïc, Pedralbes and Lasarte — plus the pioneering banked Sitges-Terramar autodrome, whose restoration remains stalled in the Catalan courts. Track days, karting outings and circuit driving experiences are widely available, especially around Barcelona, Madrid and the Costa del Sol.

41 venues listed across 6 categories. Venues with a full RaceTrackWorld guide are linked.

Expect roughly €150-€350 for a half-day open-pitlane car session, €300-€800+ for tuition-based track days or supercar experiences, and €25-€60 for an hour of hire karting.
