So now we have a good idea as to what F1's latest circuit threatens to offer.
In 2026, Madrid will join the sport's calendar, seemingly taking over the hosting of the Spanish Grand Prix from long-time venue, Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, although the latter also has a deal for next year.
The 'Madring', as it has been nicknamed, features a 5.407-kilometre layout that incorporates 22 corners, including a 24 per cent banked curve known as 'La Monumental'.
It is anticipated that cars will reach speeds of up to 340km/h, with a Turn 1 left-hander appearing to offer the best opportunity for an overtake.
The organisers have released a video simulation, including driving errors, that you can watch here.
So what do you think? Does it look like it could be an exciting track, or is it going to be another street venue that will offer little in the way of entertainment?
