Ciudad del Motor de Aragón Motorcycle GP

The raceway of Ciudad del Motor de Aragon, also known as MotorLand Aragon, is an FIA Grade 1 racing circuit designed by the famous German track architect Hermann Tilke receiving input from the Spanish Formula 1 racer Pedro de La Rosa and completed in 2009 in Alcañiz, 92 km away from Zaragoza, Spain. The race track uses the natural terrain of the location to create an exciting trajectory that features vertiginous downslopes full of blind corners and highly technical segments. The Mediterranean climate Alcañiz is optimal for racing, with scarce rainfall and plenty of sunshine year-round.

There are 18 corners in the 3.31-mile (5.32-km) FIA Circuit of Ciudad del Motor de Aragon. The road course starts in the front straight, going counterclockwise at top speed. A 90-degree left-hander at turn one starts the most technically demanding segment of the circuit, with 15 corners of varying degrees and visibility, given the elevation changes and topography of the field. When entering turn eight, drivers face a drastic dive that worsens as they advance into the long, downhill combination of corners ten, eleven, and twelve. Turns 13, 14, and 15 continue going down, leading racers into the back straight where they are free to go full throttle until turn 16, the heaviest braking segment in the track. The last two turns take racers into the final stretch for another exciting lap into this hidden jewel of a road course.
