Ascari Concept
Welcome to Ascari
Ascari is the longest track in Spain, and “one of the most spectacular in the world”. The full circuit is 5,425 metres long, with a consistent width of 12.2 metres. It can be sub-divided into three different sections or combinations, enabling separate events or aspects of driver training to be run simultaneously. The 26 corners of this anti-clockwise circuit are divided into 13 righthand and 13 left-hand turns, offering a balanced course for both the driver and the vehicle. Variety ensures a good mix of tight bends and sweeping curves. To further challenge both car and driver, the track includes bends with up to 18% banking, 12% ascents and descents, and demanding chicanes. The semi-draining asphalt surface is constructed to the highest standards for consistency and a good balance between grip, durability and tyre wear. The design imperative to take the existing rugged terrain into account has resulted in a track whose distinctive character is challenging and appealing to the driver, yet whose presence has minimal negative impact on the environment. The backdrop to Ascari is a nature lovers’ paradise. Mountains and indigenous woodland characterise a terrain intentionally devoid of advertising boards and other manifestations of commerce common to other race circuits. Within that brief, all the passive safety installations have been designed to be as visually low key as possible.
