Circuit description

Located close to the Catalan metropolis, Barcelona, the 4.267-kilometre Grand Prix circuit Circuit de Catalunya will be the venue of the second Spanish DTM round. The ‘Circuit de Catalunya’ was built in 1991 and has been one of the modern European racetracks, since then. The circuit not only hosts the Spanish Formula One GP and the Moto GP but also represents a popular testing circuit for both Formula One and DTM teams, with the teams appreciating the region’s agreeable weather conditions in winter just as much as the circuit’s high safety standards and its spacious pit-lane. The Grand Prix circuit itself represents a well-balanced combination of fast and slow sections. It’s used clockwise and consists of five left-handers and nine right-handers. According to experience, the track surface is rather dusty at the beginning of a weekend, with its grip level improving lap by lap. Overtaking opportunities are rare, hence, a good grid position for the eighth round of the DTM season will be vital. Two of the circuit’s key positions are the chicane following the long pit-straight and the fast ‘Campsa’ bend located at the backside of the paddock. Here, it’s not only about the perfect balance of the DTM cars but the tyre wear will also turn out to be a key factor, over the course of the race.
