4PROS test day

Barcelona-Catalunya

Montmeló, Catalonia · 4.657 km · 14 corners · no noise limit

The benchmark for setup work

Fast here means fast everywhere.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya lies in Montmeló, around 25 kilometres north of Barcelona. Formula 1 has raced here since 1991, and for many years the circuit was the most important venue for winter testing.

Its 4.657 kilometres combine almost everything a car needs to be able to do: a long start-finish straight, fast and slow corners, changes of direction under load. That is exactly why Barcelona is regarded as a benchmark circuit – a setup that works here works almost everywhere. And there is no noise limit at our tests.
