Comunitat Valenciana
Country: Spain
Length: 4 005 m. / 2,489 miles
Corners: 14; R6; L8
Longest straight: 876 m. / 0,544 miles
Named after local bike racing hero Ricardo Tormo, this third Spanish track is fast becoming the traditional season-closer, with racing going on alongside year-end parties and preparation for next-season’s testing, which begins the very next day.
Dunlop’s view:
Again, a very “handed” circuit. A good lap time depends on getting through the last double-apex left-hander well and onto another long and very fast straight. Temperature has been an issue here before. Another candidate for dual compound, and possibly also asymmetric construction.
