It was on 29th March 1986 when the first motorbike international race was held, making it known worldwide. Since then Jerez has become the Mecca of international motorcycling racing and amateurs from all over Spain and Europe “come down” to Jerez for the International World Championship held annually in this circuit. During this weekend Jerez and the whole of the province of Cádiz, become a melting pot for motorbike amateurs. A party highly recommended for the visitors of the province of Cádiz.
In 1992 the Circuit was redone for the first time, the track was re-asphalted, the paddocks enlarged, and the press room was extended achieving a total capacity of 200, being even insufficient for some of the events held in this circuit.
Apart from the above mentioned improvements, it is worth mentioning the application of innovative safety measures in the track at that time, with a very modern system for absorbing collisions and replacing the straw bales.
CIRCUIT RENTAL FOR VISITORS
The Jerez Circuit can be rented all year round. Due to the mildness of the weather (11º - 25º during the whole year) and the little rainfall, it is an ideal place for bike and car races.

There are three rental seasons:
-
LOW SEASON: July and August
