Circuito de Jerez Angel Nieto

What Circuito de Jerez Angel Nieto does

Circuito de Jerez Ángel Nieto is a motorsport racing circuit facility located in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain, operating as the Spanish public limited company Circuito de Jerez, S.A. (CIF A-11618675) under ownership of the Ayuntamiento de Jerez. Inaugurated in 1987 and renamed in 2017 to honor 13-time world champion Ángel Nieto, the venue is marketed as the 'Catedral del Motor' and is homologated by the FIA and FIM to host international championships.

The circuit's core offering centers on hosting flagship motorsport events — most prominently the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix (224,000+ record spectators in April 2026), the FIM Superbike World Championship season finale, the FIM MotoJunior World Championship, the Ferrari Challenge Europa, and the Copa de España de Velocidad. Supporting infrastructure includes a 714 m² press room with 350+ workstations, twelve 144 m² VIP suites with pit-lane views, a UFO mirador viewing platform, a motor museum, parking facilities, and youth development programs (Jóvenes Promesas).

Revenue is generated through five streams: ticket sales (via Proticketing and OneBoxTDS platforms), track rental to private testers and third-party track-day organizers, hospitality and VIP services, event hosting for championships and festivals, and parking. Distribution combines digital channels (official website, social, email) with direct corporate sales for hospitality packages. The venue has received EU NextGenerationEU funding under Spain's Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan for modernization and sustainability upgrades.
