Motorland Aragón is synonymous with prestige and excitement in the world of motorsport. This circuit, located in Alcañiz, Teruel, has been the venue for numerous high-level competitions, becoming an international benchmark. This time, Motorland Aragón is preparing to host the young talents of the F4 Spanish Championship, an essential platform for developing future motorsport champions.
History
Motorland Aragón was inaugurated in 2009, but its history is deeply rooted in the region's motorsport tradition. Alcañiz is a town with a rich heritage in motor racing, having hosted urban races since the 1960s. The creation of Motorland was a natural step to channel this passion into a modern and safe circuit.
The Motorland complex includes three main areas: the speed circuit, the karting area and a technology and innovation zone. Designed by the renowned German engineer Hermann Tilke, the speed track stands out for its variety of corners and elevation changes, offering a unique challenge for both drivers and engineers.
Features
The Motorland Aragón speed circuit is 5.344 kilometres long and features 17 corners (10 left and 7 right), combining technical sections with long straights that allow for overtaking and impressive top speeds. One of its most notable features is the 1,726-metre back straight, one of the longest in Europe, demanding a perfect combination of aerodynamics and power from the drivers.
The circuit's altitude variation, with a maximum elevation change of 50 metres, adds an extra dimension to the challenge. Corners 8 and 9, known as the Corkscrew, are particularly technical and are compared to the famous Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, requiring millimetre precision and total vehicle control.
An International Circuit
Since its inauguration, Motorland Aragón has hosted top-tier events, including MotoGP, Superbike, and the Fórmula Renault 3.5 Series. Its world-class infrastructure and challenging layout have earned the respect and admiration of drivers, teams, and fans alike.
Ready for a Big F4 Weekend
The Spanish F4 Championship has established itself as one of the most exciting and attractive competitions for young drivers looking to climb the motorsport ladder. Motorland Aragón, with its combination of speed and technique, offers an ideal proving ground for these emerging talents.
During the Motorland round, drivers will need to demonstrate their ability to adapt quickly to the changing conditions of the circuit. Tyre management will be crucial, as the Motorland asphalt is known for being particularly abrasive, requiring careful strategy in both qualifying and race sessions.
Motorland Aragón is not just a circuit; it's a temple of motorsport. Its design, history, and prestige make it the perfect setting for the F4 Spanish Championship. The Motorland round promises to be a spectacle of speed, strategy, and young talent at its finest. Motorsport fans are ready to witness unforgettable moments and, possibly, the rise of future motorsport stars. The magic of Motorland is ready to shine once again, cementing its place as a gem of international motorsport.
