F1 Spanish Grand Prix Catalunya 12 - 14 May 2006
 The
Spanish Grand Prix has had a rather nomadic existence during its lifetime,
taking in Pedralbes and Montjuich Park in Barcelona, Madrid’s Jarama and
Jerez. However, the race has settled down at the Circuit de Catalunya near
Barcelona since 1991.
The first race at the circuit was is best remembered for a stunning 200mph
game of chicken down the start-finish straight involving Ayrton Senna and
Nigel Mansell. But perhaps the most stunning drive at Barcelona came in the
1996 race when Michael Schumacher won by nearly a lap in appallingly wet
conditions.
Barcelona is the most popular venue for testing throughout the winter
months, so all the drivers know the track better than any other circuit on
the calendar. The race's future has been given an added boost in recent
years by the emergence of Fernando Alonso, who became Spain’s first grand
prix winner in 2003. The home crowd - previously more focused on football,
rallying or bike racing - now have their own F1 hero to cheer in the form of
the 2005 champion. |

The Circuit de Catalunya is located only 30km from Barcelona. It is easily
accessible on major routes, either the N152 or the A7 motorway (exit 13)
towards Gerona.
Alternatively, it is served by rail from Sants station (Line 2) to
Montmelo Station with journey time lasting about 40 minutes, or from Gerona
in around one hour. The circuit is a short walk from the station.
If you're flying, then the nearest international airport is El Prat de
Llobragat in Barcelona, which is 47km from the circuit. There are regular
connections to Barcelona from the airport via bus and train.
