Jarama, Madrid, Any good?

[Lordbenny]

Just east of Madrid, Spain, Jarama has been used in the past for F1 but was dropped a few years ago for being too narrow. Has any of you driven it? Does it have good facilities etc?

Thanks in advance.

Raced ther earlier this year in the french vdev championship, track is quite bumpy in places and very twisty. Very fast right hander onto the start / finish straight. Very challenging track imo, what are you thinking of driving round there (if you can of course ?)

Thinking of hiring the place for the day for a bunch of 'performance' cars & their drivers, road cars basically. Does it have catering, decent loos, petrol station nearby etc?

Yes, seriously testing circuit with lots of vertical curves too. Normal pretty dilapidated but good facilities. Very much worth a visit. If you want to go somewhere interesting and get treated like gods think about Most, Brno etc Wonderful circuits.

Hi Lord,

Not sure whther you are interested, but if you need somebody to arrange a day for you, at the majority of spanish circuits.

My father lives out in spain and arranges tracks for manufacturers, trackdays etc.

Has recently set one up at albacete for a few 360 challenge drivers who wanted a play.

If its of interest, message me an I will give you his number.

Albacete is a great place for winter testing.

Just a bit too far south, really need a track no further south than Madrid otherwise we'd have gone to the Ascari track which looks the business.
