The Madring is Formula 1's brand-new circuit for 2026, a 5.474 km lap around the IFEMA exhibition grounds on the edge of Madrid that mixes public streets with purpose-built sections. Its first race is the Spanish Grand Prix on 13 September 2026, so almost nobody has seen this track in action yet.
Its signature feature is Turn 12, "La Monumental," a banked corner of around 24% that the organisers have compared to an oval banking, unlike anything else on the current calendar. This page maps the announced layout so you can learn the track before the first car ever turns a wheel on it.
Speed map
Because no Formula 1 car has raced here yet, the speed colours are modeled purely from the announced track geometry. They show the expected rhythm of the lap, fast through the open purpose-built sections, slower through the tighter street corners, with the banked Turn 12 letting cars carry far more speed than a flat corner of the same radius would allow.
Treat everything on this page as a preview. The geometry is based on the published es-2026 layout and may shift slightly before the race, and the speeds are a proxy until real telemetry exists.
Corner by corner
The Madring has 22 corners. The one everyone is talking about is the banked Turn 12. Tap any marker for the modeled apex speed.

- T12La MonumentalThe ≈ 24% banked corner; cars carry big speed through it.

Watch a lap
At 1x the replay runs to an estimated lap of about 1 minute 32 seconds, based on the circuit length and layout rather than a measured lap. It will be re-paced to a real pole time once qualifying runs in September 2026.
Where overtakes happen
With no race run yet, overtaking hotspots can only be guessed from the layout: the braking zones at the end of the longest straights are the obvious candidates. The markers below are illustrative placeholders, not data.
Data & how to read it
There is no real telemetry for the Madring yet; the first data will come from free practice and qualifying on 11-12 September 2026. Until then this page runs entirely on the announced es-2026 geometry and the curvature-derived speed proxy. The moment a real pole lap exists, it maps straight into this view.
