This tight and twisty circuit is the third Spanish race on the MotoGP calendar. The circuit itself is a harbinger of a new type of race track - more akin to the all-action enclosed nature of stadium racing than traditional long and fast tracks. The 4.005 km (2.489-mile) lap is crammed into the smallest possible area, almost all of it within view from the grandstands on one side, and the packed hillsides on the other. Naturally the corners are tight, but Valencia also has a good long straight, with speeds not far short of 200 mph, which shows how slow the rest of the track must be.
