ABOUT THE TRACK
An ultra-modern facility, MotorLand Aragón had its roots firmly established thanks to a solid history of street racing in Alcañiz, which hosted events between 1963 and 2003. Safety advice warning against the continuation of this led to the proposal and construction of a sporting complex dedicated to motorsport. With support from local institutions, renowned German architect Hermann Tilke was commissioned to design the facility. The circuit, which is 5.077km long and has 17 turns, was roundly praised by riders after its first Grand Prix in 2010, and it was rewarded with the IRTA Best Grand Prix of the Year award, the first time a circuit had received the prize in its debut year. Since then, this anticlockwise circuit has been one of the riders' favorites offering a versatility thanks to its mix of long straights and hard-brakings, tight corners and acceleration on lean angles. Exceptionally missing from the calendar in 2023, the Grand Prix of Aragon returned in 2024, where the historical return to winning ways of Marc Marquez following his long injury sustained in 2020 took place. Its location in the desert of Aragon gives a special vibe to this very-liked stop of the year, but also lets riders face extremely hot and dry conditions. Normally hosted in September, this year early June might be a bit milder for all.
