This circuit, in the heart of spaghetti western country, is the perfect place to put cars and their drivers to the test in a safe, exciting environment. The circuit is just two and a half hours away from Malaga and an easy drive from Almeria and Granada. It provides modern facilities including an onsite restaurant, impressive pit garages and a modern hospital. The driving experience is amazing too! The 4km track features loads of run off, 14 exhilarating corners, one tight chicane and a seriously fast 900m straight.

A trackday is the perfect opportunity for car lovers to see exactly what their cars can do around a race track, meet like-minded people and admire beautiful cars. It’s non-competitive, friendly and great value for money. There has never been any car to car contact on Trackdays Spain’s events and they take safety very seriously. Their friendly days maximise track time and ensure every client has a wonderful driving experience.

For just 279 Euros drivers can bring their own car to Almeria for a whole day of adrenaline-fuelled driving and bring along a second driver for free. The Trackdays Spain team is on hand to run through the rules of the day, offer instruction, make sure everyone is driving safely and making the most of the time on track.

Hire a Radical SR3 Supersport for the day

Hire a Radical SR3 Supersport for the dayTrackdays Spain have announced they have struck a deal with the Radical Spain team to hire out their 100,000€ racecars at the Almeria circuit. Instructor and Event Organiser Andy Turnbull explains why he is so excited about this deal. “Radical’s cars are awesome machines, capable of 0-60mph in around 3 seconds and speeds of well over 150mph! Super sticky slick tyres, Formula 1 style wings and aerodynamic design help these cars achieve unbelievable cornering speeds and braking unlike anything on a road car.

Normally such valuable and delicate cars aren’t available for hire, so this is an amazing opportunity. There really is nothing much outside Formula 1 that will give you the same sensation of speed and handling that you’ll get in a Radical, and unlike a Formula 1 car, a passenger can come along for the ride!”

Trackdays Spain is now able to offer corporate events for companies that want to entertain clients or reward staff with a very special trackday experience. The corporate package includes car hire, instruction, catering and can be held for a minimum of six people.

If you are interested attending the next trackday on Wednesday October 29th, hiring a Radical or a Lotus Elise or organising a corporate event email info@trackdaysspain.com or call 657 824 813. It’s free to watch and just 279 Euros to bring your own car.

The Bugatti Veyron is with its 8.0 L quad-turbocharged W16 engine and its 1,001 PS the quickest accelerating and decelerating street-legal production car in the world. The price of the Bugatti Veyron is €1,100,000 without taxes and the production is limited to only 300 cars. So it is more than just exclusive. This particular car was sold in Marbella in Bergé Automoción which is selling exclusive cars like Lamborghini, Rolls Royce or Lexus. This car comes in red and black and I am sure it will be nice to see it again on the Costa del Sol passing by with a speed of 400 Km/h.

It is a road-going evolution of the KZ1-R GT race car currently contesting the Spanish GT Championship, with both cars penned by ex-Formula One designer Paul Brown. The A10 features a 5.0 L BMW V8 engine producing 600 bhp/447 kW. The A10 shares the same basic carbon fibre chassis as the KZ1, with all-new bodywork and racing-derived suspension. Despite the addition of an FIA-spec roll cage and the fire-suppression system, the removal of soundproofing and such luxuries as air conditioning and a stereo system contributes to the A10′s relatively light weight of 1,280 kg. Ascari claims that the A10 is capable of a top speed of 354 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. The company plans to hand-assemble 50 A10s at its Banbury, England assembly plant, at a price of approximately 450,000 Euro (£350,000) each. One of this 50 cars was in Puerto Banus last week.

The name Murciélago (spanish: bat) comes from a bull that survived 24 sword strokes in a bullfight in 1879 at the arena of Córdoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. The bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted breeder, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls. The Murciélago has the legendary Lamborghini V12 6.2 L engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The Murcielago can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and to a top speed of 330 km/h.
