The name for the new Madrid F1 circuit set to hosꦇt the Spanish Grand Prix from 2026 has b♏een revealed.

F1 will have two races in Spain next year, with the Spanish Grand Prix officially moving to a new hybrid street circuit in capit꧂al city Madrid.

Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya has a contract for one more year but will not be titled the Spanish 🎉Grand Prix from next seasoꦅn.

Madrid will take over that name as it hosts it♛s first ever grand prix as part of a long deal initially running until 2035.

Organisers of the race have now con♏firmed that♉ the track will be named the ‘Madring’.

“Madrid is the first major European capital 🥃to host a Fo𝕴rmula 1 Grand Prix, and the circuit’s name reflects this milestone,” the race’s promoters said in a statement.

“MADRING merge ‘Madrid’ with ‘ꦚring’, a term often associated with racing circuits in the F1 world.

“The result is a modern and contemporary identity, aligned with the new era of spectacle circuit - akin to Abu Dhabi, Miami, and Las Vegas, where the event transcends the track and permeates the entire city𒐪.

“Formula 1 circuits are typically referred to by the city or region where they are located - Monza, I𓃲mola, Interlagos, Spa, Silverst🀅one, Miami, Las Vegas.

“However, their full official names aℱre rarely used. For this reason, Madring aims to establish a concise and memorable identity that directly references its host city, is instantly recognisable worldwideꦍ, and requires no translation.

“Ultimately, it is 🗹more than just a name - it is a genuine, distinctive, and iconic brand, designed to resona🍎te with a modern and engaged F1 audience.”

The Madring will be a 3.39-mile track which ru𓆏ns around the IFEMA ex🦩hibition venue.

A ෴qual🀅ifying lap of 1m32s has been projected for the 20-turn circuit.

Madrid’s IFEMA exhibition ꦰcentre is close to the main international airport and has transport connections to the city centre.

F1 say the use of public transport will make the race “one of the most sustainable F1 events of the s🔜eason”.
