Spanish Grand Prix Set to Race Despite Flooding
Summary
The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, scheduled for April 25-27 at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto, will proceed as planned despite significant flooding from heavy rainfall. Over 120 liters of water fell in a short period, causing flooding mainly around Turn 13, named after MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo. Fortunately, the track remains intact and suitable for racing, with no injuries reported among the staff.
In response to the flooding, circuit management quickly initiated a clean-up and repair operation to restore the venue ahead of the race weekend. Through social media, they reassured fans about their safety and confirmed that organizational efforts for the Grand Prix are moving forward without hindrance. This situation contrasts with last year's severe flooding in Valencia, which disrupted the MotoGP calendar, highlighting the proactive measures taken at Jerez to ensure a successful event.
