Formula 1 is racing in the Spanish capital again for the first time in 45 years, on a brand-new venue called MADRING. Ford has published a fan guide to the event covering the circuit itself, travel and how to plan the race weekend. The mail itself is a short teaser that points to the full guide rather than a detailed technical briefing.
Ford has sent out a fan-facing guide to the Spanish Grand Prix, built around one central point: after a 45-year absence, Formula 1 is back in Madrid. The race takes place at a new circuit called MADRING, and Ford’s guide is aimed at spectators planning to attend rather than at the sporting or technical side of the weekend.
What the guide covers
According to Ford, the material brings together the essential information on the new MADRING circuit, on travel to and around the event, and on how to get the most out of the race weekend. The company frames it as practical planning advice for fans, and the mail links through to the full story on its From the Road content hub. No lap times, layout details, ticket prices or session schedules are given in the mail itself.
A long gap for the capital
The 45-year figure quoted by Ford lines up with the Madrid region’s last world championship Formula 1 race, held at the Jarama circuit outside the city in 1981. Since then, Spain’s place on the calendar has been held elsewhere in the country, most prominently in Catalonia. A return to the capital therefore reopens a market that has been without a home grand prix for more than four decades, in a country where interest in the sport has stayed high throughout.
Why Ford is talking about it
Ford distributes this kind of guide through From the Road, its own editorial channel, and the Spanish edition is aimed at local fans. The mail carries no vehicle news, no product announcement and no motorsport results — it is a signpost to a longer piece rather than a competition statement.
What it means
For fans, the practical value sits in the linked guide rather than in the announcement itself: a new venue means unfamiliar access routes, unfamiliar grandstands and no accumulated local knowledge to fall back on. For the sport, a purpose-planned event in a European capital adds a second major Spanish-language audience centre to the calendar alongside the country’s established venue.
Ford has not stated a date for the event in this mail; the full guide is published on its From the Road site.
