Round 4-Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is a truly magnificent city, it packed full of historic monuments as well as a lively culture which is appealing to all. The circuit is the same, although it has a well known layout, people still make mistakes. A new chicane near the end of the lap has been put into place, it should not only provide extra overtaking places, it will certainly make more drivers make mistakes and therefore make the race a lot more interesting.

Although the new chicane is here, there is one thing that you cannot escape, it’s an old circuit, with the teams testing there than any other circuit, which makes the drivers confident around the circuit, and makes the racing quite dull, with the added effect of .

Since Fernando Alonso entered the sport, the Spanish track has been packed with Alonso fans, which will make it hard to get a good seat at the circuit.

When the formula one teams stop racing for the day, Barcelona will provide you with a great nightlife, and fantastic restaurants to eat in, and argue with your fellow formula one fan, who was the quickest person on the circuit today.

Look below for the new circuit map.
