The Circuito del Jarama is a 2.39-mile (3.84-km) motorsport venue opened in 1967 at San Sebastian de los Reyes, part of Madrid's metropolitan area, in Spain. The road course's trajectory is full of challenging turns and elevation changes, as well as some bottlenecks where the track width gets to only 29 feet (9 meters). The capital of Spain has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and cool, rainy winters. There are considerable temperature variations from day to night, and even occasional snowfalls, so you can find almost any type of weather during the year. Jarama is one of the premier circuits in Spain and has hosted the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix on nine occasions.
The Circuito del Jarama runs clockwise, starting in the middle of the main straightaway. The first turn is a left-hand kink called Nuvolari. The second corner brings a heavy braking turn, Fangio, named after the Argentinian Formula 1 champion. A short straight comes before the right-left-right-left combination of Varzi, Le Mans, Farina, and Pegaso, which demands the driver's full attention due to the constant changes in direction and camber. Ascari is a fast-paced downhill sweeper, and Portago requires heavy downshifting to get the speed from 175 km/h (108 mph) to 88 km/h (54.68 mph). Drivers continue diving down through Bugatti until exiting Monza, going uphill and taking the last turn, María de Villota.
