The city of Jerez hosts one of the most popular racing circuits in the MotoGP calendar, with its consistently good weather it is an ideal choice for the pre-season practice sessions.
Although the circuit was built in 1986 it didn`t actually host its first Grand Prix until approximately one year later in 1987.
Over the years motorcycle racing has become increasingly popular throughout the world and people travel from far and wide to watch the racing. So its perfect that Jerez boasts viewing facilities in its many grandstands for at least 250.000 spectators, and although the track was first built in 1986, eight years later amongst other improvements a huge bridge was erected above the start and finish line, making an even more exciting viewing point.

The track isn`t actually one of the fastest tracks as there are some very heavy braking points, and what with eight right hand corners and five left, it makes for an nail biting race with the riders bringing all their expertise to the front.
