There is a great desire for motorsport, especially in Spain. The Iberian country will have the Montmeló circuit on its calendar in both Formula 1 and MotoGP until 2026, but many cities are moving towards the future in order to question the Catalan supremacy on the Formula 1 calendar, or at least try to have a place in other motorsport series. This is the case of Seville, which will have a new circuit starting from 2024, precisely in the town of Carmona, 33 km north-east of Seville. Carmona is built on a ridge overlooking the central plain of Andalusia.
Last week Seville received the go-ahead from the regional government for the construction of a track that will measure 4,230 meters, with a main straight of 822 metres, according to Spanish-language general-information digital newspaper El Confidencial. Over the last few months, another much less difficult layout has been released, with more corners and a main straight of 773 metres. The one that will be used remains to be seen. Either way, Seville will have the third largest circuit in Spain, behind only Teruel’s Motorland and Barcelona’s Montmeló.
The initiators of the project are the former motorcycle racer David García and his father Nono – former racing driver. The two already have experience in the management of motorsport venues, having been the owners of the Almería Circuit, and have invested five million euros for a project that has garnered criticism from both environmentalists and those who consider it totally useless given the fact that in Andalusia, you can reach the Jerez de la Frontera circuit in one hour by car.
