Overview
- Late August two-day official FIA Formula 3 tests ran on the 5.4 km MadRing and organisers reported that race procedures, communications, recovery and medical timings met planned targets.
- The circuit is functionally complete with 22 turns including the heavily banked 'La Monumental', permanent grandstands and a pit complex formed by IFEMA halls and 14 modular garages.
- Race-day operations were exercised with a full emergency and safety deployment that included 120 marshalls, 60 medical staff, nine ambulances, 23 firefighters and aerial policing support from the Policía Nacional.
- Organisers still must install acoustic protection screens near the Las Cárcavas neighbourhood and finish five fan‑zone fit‑outs before the 11–13 September Spanish Grand Prix, and final security rehearsals are underway.
- Event organisers cite a PwC study projecting about €467 million for Madrid and high ticket sales, while residents have complained about test noise and local authorities issued licences to allow technical exceedances for validation work.
