The Circuit de Catalunya has good facilities and an interesting blend of corners, but lacks atmosphere
Location: Montmelo, Catalonia
Date: 10 May
Length: 2.875 miles
Rating (out of 10): 7

Barcelona is one of the world's great cities - a vibrant blend of history, culture and fabulous nightlife.

Unfortunately, its Grand Prix track - half an hour north of the city - does not live up to those glories.

The Circuit de Catalunya has a good blend of corners and a long straight to help overtaking - but it lacks atmosphere and the race is often dull.

The last section of the track was changed for 2007, in an attempt to improve safety and racing.
