You can score a ‘European getaway’ in Spain’s capital city and witness the F1® MADRING circuit in the same trip — the waitlist just dropped

Why MADRING hits different

MADRING  isn’t a tweak to an old track. It’s the first entirely new circuit to join the F1® calendar since Las Vegas in 2023, and it has instantly become home of the FORMULA 1 LENOVO GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA.

The layout wraps around Madrid’s IFEMA exhibition center: 5.4 kilometers, 22 turns, and a signature banked corner known as La Monumental that’s already being talked about as one of the most technical sections on the entire calendar.

Perfect for a Spanish tourism escape

Madrid might be the most accessible Grand Prix venue in the world right now. The circuit sits minutes from Madrid’s airport and connects directly into the city’s public transit; no shuttle marathon required to get from your hotel to your seat.

Fill your weekend with local food, live DJ sets, and hospitality zones built around actual Madrid culture and get a real cultural taste of Spain. It starts to look less like a stopover and more like a reason to build a trip around.

What awaits in Madrid

Ready to spend a long weekend in one of Europe’s most walkable capital cities? Get ready for warm evenings, a city just easing out of peak summer crowds, and enough tapas bars, museums, and rooftop terraces to fill every hour that isn’t spent trackside.

Flying in for three days of racing and leaving without seeing the Prado museum or the Retiro Park would almost be the wrong way to do it. For anyone in the US who’s been sitting on a “someday” trip to Spain, this is the version that comes with a built-in reason to actually book it — and a checkered flag as the excuse!

For anyone based in LA, this is about as far as a race weekend gets from home — and that’s kind of the point. One direct flight out of LAX turns a random Friday into a genuine escape from the grind, trading the 405 traffic with tasty tapas. Worth checking some LAX flights before the rest of Southern California figures out where MADRING is.
