👍 Pros & ⚠️ Cons

✅ Pros ⚠️ Cons
Long GP-grade layout with mixed-speed sectors Noise restrictions require silencer prep
Excellent grip, flow, and elevation Non-GP-level runoff in a few spots
Superb weather almost year-round Located remotely—transport logistics needed
Strong support and experienced organisers High-speed bike likely needed to fully exploit layout

🎯 Rider Tips

  1. Stickers & Exhaust: Insert a dB-killer and test early—drive-by compliance is strictly enforced.

  2. Group Choice: Choose your level honestly; faster riders push in Middle/Advanced, beginners often benefit from coaching days.

  3. Transport Logistics: Shipping or bike hire options (e.g. CR Moto) are common—coordinate with organisers.

  4. Insurance: Obtain track-specific or federative cover (~€20–30/day).

  5. Session Strategy: Use early sighting laps to warm tyres—pace out 20–30min runs due to track length.

  6. Bring Gear: Fuel, spares, hydration, camping gear if night stay; paddock essentials.


✅ Summary

The Andalucía Circuit is one of Spain’s premier motorcycle trackday venues—offering a long, fast, yet technical layout with superb weather, excellent infrastructure, and a polished event experience. It’s well-suited for intermediate to advanced riders seeking to train with near-professional standards.
