One of the main promises of auto racing in our country, Jaime Alguersuari, predicted that “many will be overtaking because the track is quite wide, much longer than usual”. The Catalan coincides with his companions to point out that “it is totally different from other cities, looks more like a permanent circuit within a city, with security issues very present”.

The Spanish pilot, Fernando Alonso, said in an interview in SpeedTv he’s looking forward to running the Grand Prix of Valencia, while there is uncertainty because no pilot Formula one has yet run there. The only pilots who have run in the Valencia Street Circuit are pilots Formula 3 and GT and is where Alonso will draw the advantage to learn the circuit.

According to Fernando, a friend who has participated in a race in Valencia Street Circuit before shots with a tourism and recording the tour with a video camera to learn the track and Alonso is now drawing on the work of his friend to learn.

The biggest complication is that there is a replica or computerized simulators that pilots can easily learn the route so everyone relies on what can (videos, photos, etc.)..

Finally, concluded that the Valencia Street Circuit seemed, although it sounds a little beast, an urban American circuit, made it big where security measures premium everywhere
