The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was built as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics development programme. The foundation stone was laid in 1989, while the first car race was a round of the 1991 Spanish Touring Car Championship. Two weeks after the touring cars raced at Barcelona, it was Formula 1’s turn. The track enjoyed a sensational debut, with Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna’s famous eyeball-to-eyeball drag race down the straight, before Mansell took the lead and drove on to victory.
Join ScuderiaFans later in the afternoon to keep up to date with the latest results, timings, news and updates from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, as the second practice session for the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix is about to get underway in Montmeló.
