Formula 1 changes the way people travel: Madrid becomes a destination for thousands of visitors who come for an experience and not just tourism

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General11 September 2026 at 03:51

Formula 1 is transforming the way people travel in Madrid, turning the city into a destination for thousands of visitors who come seeking a complete experience and not just traditional tourism. The Spanish Grand Prix goes far beyond the tracks and has already begun to make its presence felt throughout the region.

The race begins long before the single-seaters go into action. In Madrid, Formula 1 has left the circuit and begun to transform the city, creating a festive atmosphere that extends throughout the region during event week.

During this week, the Spanish Grand Prix atmosphere will reach different points in the Madrid region with various attractions. The organizers have prepared simulators, historic cars, family activities, music and giant screens to bring the world of motorsport closer to those who will not be in the stands at the circuit, known as Madring.

The main objective of these activities is to bring the Formula 1 universe closer to people, offering a complete experience that goes beyond simply attending the race, thus attracting visitors who seek to experience the excitement of motorsport in different ways.
