Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit, inaugurated in 1999, is a
new generation track with a wide escape route and little scope for overtaking.
Set in a sort of natural amphitheatre, Valencia allows the public to follow the
cars around most of the circuit, courtesy of the long grandstands that can
accommodate over 150,000 spectators. The track offers four different
combinations although the main races take place on the 4 km track, with its
five right and eight left turns and 876 m straight. Valencia, similar in some
respects to Oschersleben, has a narrow roadway with few passing points.
