Formula 1 renews deal with the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya until 2026
Formula 1 has renewed its deal with Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, in a move that will keep the Spanish Grand Prix at the track until 2026.
As part of the deal, improvements to the track and facilities – first used by Formula 1 in 1991, ahead of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona – will be made ahead of the 2022 race, set to take place on May 22. Part of those upgrades will contribute to the circuit’s ambitious sustainability plans.
