Madrid is now ready to soon hear the roar of engines on its streets and The 22 best drivers in the world They go through every curve at speeds that are inappropriate for everyone. Formula 1 is more than just a car competition, every weekend He leaves millions of euros to the cities Who not only have the luck, but also the responsibility to host an event of this magnitude.
In fact, the Spanish capital has been dreaming up this project that promises to break the mold for years. And this is it Neither urban nor permanentwill collect the Madrid route Best of both worlds: The excitement of the streets and the precision of design designed to the millimeter. But beyond the asphalt, Madring It seeks to become a cultural and technical symbol within the global calendar through five points that make it unique.
1. Red is your visual identity
Madring It will have a cool feature: a red design that has never been seen before. This reddish color will be achieved with a pigment that represents only the color red “1% of asphalt composition”So it “will not affect the quality of the road surface or the wear of the vehicle’s tires” any more than it does Completely traditional asphalt.
The idea is simple, Color represents energy and emotionFor this reason, it seeks to be the distinctive brand of Madrid compared to other arenas. from Pianos and gaps in bridges and terracesthe red color will dominate. No other arena in the world has so overtly chosen color as a narrative element.
2. Mega as the fastest urban curve
A few scenarios can do that Compete with the power of La Monumental, or the Heart of the Arena. From the beginning, he actually promised to be so One of the fastest turns on the calendar and the fastest on an urban level. Unlike traditional bends or hairpins, this curve will allow you to maintain speeds close to top speed 260-280 km/hdepending on the aerodynamic setting and tire type.
Although it would be visually impressive, the curve also requires a lot of precision, and a mistake in the line could cost tenths of a second or even a derailment. That’s why some engineers compare it to… The legendary Turn 8 in Istanbul or with Copse at SilverstoneBoth are famous for their speed and technical nature.
3. Integration with the city and sustainability
The circuit is designed for Reducing environmental impact and mobility, with logistics adapted to the urban environment. For this reason, large green spaces, renewable energy to power the paddocks and enhanced public transport systems are planned for the Grand Prix days. Moreover, it is presented as space Reusable all year round.
4. Audience experience
It will be what is called “one of the biggest attractions”walk red”A pedestrian walkway will pass through a large part of the arena, linking the main areas of the event, namely the stands, fan zone areas, gastronomic points and cultural spaces.
It also has an area of“Fan Innovation Center”Brands, teams and emerging technology companies will showcase advances in mobility, sustainability and automotive design. It will be a mix between a fair and a fast-paced amusement park. With simulators, virtual reality experiences and even educational workshops For young people.
5. Artistic and smooth layout
The design will include Several overshoot zones and a series of associated curves It will test the aerodynamic balance of cars. It will not be a hard braking circuit like Baku, nor as tight as Monaco.
