Mobility Plan for the F1 MSC CRUISES GP DE BARCELONA-CATALUNYA 2026

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will implement a series of measures for the FORMULA 1 MSC CRUISES GRAN PREMIO DE BARCELONA-CATALUNYA 2026 as regards mobility and access to the sports venue to improve traffic flow, especially for private vehicles during peak hours of the event, and to encourage the use of public transport.

PRIVATE VEHICLE – PARKING AND ACCESS SYSTEM

Traffic arrangements

In order to speed up the entry of vehicles to the Circuit, the access to the venue will be reinforced on roads such as AP-7, C-33, C-17 and C-35 with continuous controls to guide users with access to parking, staff and other groups, preventing the entry and diverting the traffic of those who do not have parking accreditation or personal accreditation for the event.

For the exit, all lanes will be used to clear the sports ground, preventing vehicles from entering (from 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, coinciding with the start of the F1 qualifying session, and from the start of the Formula 1 race on Sunday).

It is important to note that attendees should follow only the instructions of the police officers and the road signs, as GPS navigation systems may provide incorrect information (road closures, blocked access points, etc.).

Spectator parking with online purchase

Spectator parking can be purchased online on the Circuit’s official ticket platform. The ticket obtained will serve as proof of vehicle registration and must be presented to the control staff in either digital or printed format. The staff will then issue a sticker (valid for all days) to indicate that the vehicle is correctly parked.

This spectator car park consists of a single, very large area which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, in accordance with the instructions of the staff on site. Please note that you will not be able to access the perimeter of the Circuit with a private vehicle without previously purchasing a parking space ticket. Once you have parked your vehicle, you can access the venue on foot through any of the Circuit gates.

Free parking for motorbikes

Motorbikes are parked free of charge and no purchase or previous action is required. Parking areas are located in Car Park H1 (with access from the C-17 road) and in the spectator car park, with a reserved area for motorcycles.

Taxi ranks

In addition, the Circuit has also set up two taxi ranks. One is next to the West entrance and Gate 1, and the other is near the East entrance and
Gate 3. This means that visitors arriving by taxi will be able to get right up to both of the Circuit’s main entrance gates. For the exit route, only the rank near Gate 3 will be open.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT – FREE SERVICES

Reinforced public transport schedule

As always, the Circuit recommends the use of public transport to reach its facilities. For the occasion, both Rodalies de Catalunya (train) and Sagalés (bus) will offer a wide range of services:

Rodalies de Catalunya (train)

From 12 to 14 June, Rodalies de Catalunya will provide a total of 200,000 additional seats, boosting services on the R2 Nord and R11 lines with trains running every 10 to 15 minutes on the route between Barcelona and Montmeló during peak times. There will be up to 470 trains in both directions over the three days.

To facilitate and speed up ticket purchases, Rodalies has programmed the ticket machines so that the first ticket to appear on the screen is a return ticket to Montmeló.

Sagalés (bus)

Autocares Sagalés also offers its services to attend the Grand Prix. The buses will leave from Barcelona city centre, from the North Bus Station (Estació de Nord, C/Ali Bei, 80). This location allows connection with the metro and Rodalies services, as the station is located next to Arc de Triomf. The service will be available from 7:45 a.m. from Friday to Sunday.

These buses also leave from the coast of Barcelona (specifically from Lloret de Mar), and pass through several towns up to the Circuit, arriving next to Gate 3 (service available on Saturday and Sunday).

Free bus service from Montmeló station and from Parets to the Circuit

To encourage the use of public transport, the Circuit will be running a free bus service from Montmeló railway station and from Parets (Avenida de Josep Tarradellas on the corner of Calle Ramón y Cajal) to the circuit.

In the case of Montmeló, the stop will be located near Gate 6 (Calle Can Esteve) and, in the case of Parets, on Calle Impremta, with Gate 7 being the nearest access point. This service will be available from 8 a.m. on Friday to Sunday during the Grand Prix.

It will also be available for leaving the Circuit once track activities have finished. In the event of congestion on the roads leading out of the Circuit, the service may be suspended if it is impossible to provide it.
