Where Is The 2008 Formula 1 Grand Prix Venue in Barcelona?
The Barcelona Grand Prix will be staged at the Catalunya Circuit which is
is 12 miles 20km North East of Barcelona city centre.
When is the Event ?
Sunday April 27th and note it as "Barcelona, Spain". Practice and qualifying sessions will take place on the Friday 25th and Saturday 26th before the big race on Sunday 27th April. You can therefore make a weekend of the event and buy a 3 day pass. The European Formula One season kicks off in anger two weeks earlier than last year and I'd hate for you to miss what promises to be one of the most competitive seasons - well, at least since last year!
