Construction at the Motor Circuit has commenced without an official photograph or promotional video. This project began 35 years ago and now has several machines working daily in Atogo, aiming to prepare what will become one of the most valuable motorsport institutions in the Archipelago.
With a capacity for 60,000 people, 5,000 seats, and 24 VIP areas, the new circuit will feature various services such as restaurants and shops, in addition to parking facilities and designated spaces for motorsport enthusiasts.
Here are some details about the layout, which will be located in the Los Duques de Atogo area, within the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, just four kilometres from Tenerife South Airport:

Hosting grand prix events in both categories will require corresponding contracts.
