Madrid’s new F1 track, Madring, blends tradition with modern branding, securing a decade-long spot and redefining Spain’s motorsport future.
Formula 1 is heading to Madrid in 2026, and its brand-new circuit now has a name: Madring. More than just a label, this name was chosen to give the track a strong, standalone identity.
The inspiration is clear—Madrid + “ring”, a nod to legendary circuits like Hockenheimring and Nürburgring. But the idea goes beyond tradition.
“F1 tracks are usually named after their city or region—Monza, Imola, Spa, Silverstone, Miami, Las Vegas,” explained the event’s promoters. “But their full names are rarely used.”
Madring aims to stand out. It’s short, sharp, instantly recognizable, and needs no translation. A name designed to stick.
But it’s more than branding—Madring is built to make an impact. The circuit will stretch 5.5 km, with 1.5 km of open roads, blending a street-race feel with a classic track layout.
And here’s the big question: Is Barcelona’s time in F1 running out? Madring is locked in for at least ten years (until 2035), making it a serious contender to take over Spain’s F1 slot.
Adding to the shake-up, Formula 2 and Formula 3 will also race in Madrid, reinforcing its role as a new motorsport hub.
One thing is certain—Madring isn’t just arriving in F1. It’s here to make a statement.
