The HGPCA Formula 1 races (Historic Grand Prix Cars Association) are the pole of attraction both for the nostalgic and for those who discover them.

More races too with the Spanish Cup of Classics and the Clio Cup, Renault's single-brand formula that is already a tradition in Spain and this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. But there will also be exhibitions on the track with the great variety of authentic Grand Prix motorcycles of all displacements and categories, which are kept in perfect condition by passionate collectors-riders.
