Formula One’s summer break comes to an end this
week and the remaining seven rounds of the 2008 FIA World Championship get
underway with the European Grand Prix. The first of two new tracks on the
calendar this season, and the sport’s second trip to Spain
this year, Valencia
makes its debut as an all-new street circuit on Sunday 24 August. Confirmed as
an addition to the schedule just over a year ago in a multi-year agreement, Valencia takes
over as host of the European round from the Nürburgring and has been tipped to
become a reference point for Formula One street tracks across the world.
Located on Spain’s eastern
seaboard, Valencia
is a former industrial port but has undergone major modifications over the years
and is now the country’s third largest city and regarded as a cultural mecca
for tourists. The circuit itself has been built around the revamped Juan Carlos
I Marina in the re-constructed America’s
Cup harbour. As the majority of the circuit runs along the coastline, the Mediterranean will provide a stunning backdrop for next
weekend’s race. Touted as a street circuit but with all the benefits of a
permanent track, Formula One’s newest destination has the potential to become
one of the most favoured venues Formula One visits.

Toyota Racing returns to action after Formula 1's summer break with the
European Grand Prix on the streets of Valencia, Spain this weekend. The
European Grand Prix was held for the last nine years at the Nürburgring in
Germany but switches to Spain this weekend at the new 5.419km circuit on the streets
around the city's America's Cup port. The circuit, which boasts 25 corners,
takes the cars around the waterfront and even across the mouth of the harbour,
over a distinctive swing bridge. With a glamorous location and yachts moored
just metres away, the venue has drawn comparisons to Monaco but the
characteristics of the circuit itself are likely to be very different, with a
top speed of over 320km/h
predicted and downforce in the middle of the range. That means the aerodynamic
package will be similar to the one used at Hockenheim, but with some small
updates throughout and with the option to use the ‘shark fin' engine cover
again. After a 10-point haul in Hungary, which saw Timo Glock equal the team's
best result of second place, expectations are high this weekend and Toyota aims
to leave Valencia with more points.
