New Spanish race track to be constructed near Seville
The Junta de Andalucía have approved the construction of a new race track next to Seville, a city that yet does not have a quality facility of these sorts.
Former MotoGP rider David Garcia and his father Nono Garcia have had the dream of making a great circuit next to Seville for the last four years. This week the Garcias' dream is one step closer to becoming a reality.
The project has the backing of the Carmona City Council and the mayor Juan Avila who supports the project and has given it the legal authorisation from the regional administration.
The Ministry of Development, Articulation of the Territory and Housing of the Junta de Andalucía has approved in the Territorial Commission for Territorial Planning and Urbanism of Seville. This was the final approval that the Garcias' project needed before it could go ahead.
The circuit is planned to be built on a 56 hectare plot of rustic land just outside of Seville. The projected circuit would become the third largest in Spain after Motorland Aragon and the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya. The circuit is supposed to be a length of 4.5 kilometres long and is meant to have a width of 12 metres the whole way round. There will be 10 turns to the right and six turns to the left, meaning there will be a total of 16 corners. The corners will need a high level of riding experience to be able to get around the corners at high speed. The main straight of the circuit will supposedly be 773 metres long.
Now that the circuit has been given the appropriate approval by the board the first race for the circuit has begun. The promoters will have a race against time to make the circuit active by their target of 2024 to make the circuit an up and running project.
