A brand new (artifical) track, about 20km from Madrid. A single-run GP, last time this was the case was at Valkenswaard.
Additional classes: EMX125 and EMX250
It's a bit sad that the GP is held at a man-made track when Spain has plenty of great tracks. But, fact is, this is a prime location. Near a European metropolis, it's own highway-exit, an incredible amount of parking lots (when audience is allowed in a normal season) and more than enough space to build a world championship-worthy track. Hopefully the terrain has a bit of elevation differences.

Same with the support classes, WMX does 2 races at Mantova but not a 3rd on the final sunday, while EMX 125 only does one on the final sunday. EMX 125 now has to go from Mantova to Spain for 1 race, while the WMX class comes back to italy in november for one final race. In a normal season that would be perfectly doable, but now with Covid it imo just means more people from different countries moving in and out of the paddock.
It could be last days to make this race happen if lockdown orders will follow number of cases.
We'll see what track they do.
The situation in Madrid is complicated by Covid19, but in truth there is a lot of confusion and misinformation, due to the political dispute between the local and state governments. And the media that are all subsidized by the government of Spain
Because Madrid is the most powerful area economically and socially of Spain
And the parties that govern in Madrid are rivals of the parties that govern Spain.
The two governments accuse each other of managing Covid19 very badly
And with their rivalry they get a lot of confusion in the people, about the rules. People are not sure what they can and cannot do.
It seems that those from Madrid cannot leave Madrid, but for example the airport and train stations are still open, and they only do a simple temperature control to people, the airport and train stations are managed by the state government. Then it's open. It's all very confusing.
The government of Madrid accuses the government of Spain of not having carried out PCR controls to try to stop Covid19 at airports.
It seems that the government of Spain makes things difficult for the government of Madrid, and therefore for the people of Madrid. In his fight for political power.
Now the cases of Covid19 in Madrid are on the decline and there are enough medical means to treat the sick, but you cannot believe anything about what the press in Spain says.
Maybe it will look better with mxgp banners around it.

Maybe we will see proper fotos/video later this week.

Iker Larrañaga has been collaborating in the development of the circuit. Iker does not participate in the race because he had a very strong fall this year. But there are 3 Spanish in MXGP, 3 in MX2 and 17 more in EMX 125 and 250
this year I think you take what you can get...
See you in Arco (Hopefully)

Pit Row
the place itself is off the back of a big shopping mall so i don't think it's encroaching on any housing right away and it'd be a great location if fans could come as it is off a main motorway exit. Better than I though it'd be and they've really ripped it deep so hopefully it'll produce good racing, but right now... can't say
The situation in Europe is nobueno
If Cairoli wants to win the championship he better shot Gajser out of a berm😬🤣
The same thing is happening in the Netherlands.
How's Kegums? Fancy 3 more races there?
