Classic F1 track FIGHTS BACK in circuit battle

Circuit chiefs hope that expensive renovations will help cause

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is hoping that a renovation costing more than $50m will help in its bid to keep Formula 1 races beyond 2026.

Drivers will experience a new pit complex and paddock club area in Barcelona as soon as this season, as the track desperately tries not to lose out to the creeping takeover of street circuits.

It’s also hoped that crowd control issues may be sorted with further investment into the infrastructure of the circuit.

Currently, there are only two years of the Spanish Grand Prix being held in Barcelona left before the title gets handed over to the new Madrid based street circuit.
