Construction work at Catalunya
Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, home of premier Formula 1 and MotoGP races, is to undergo renovations to its paddock.
The works are slated to take place after both 2009 events, with the Spanish Grand Prix scheduled for May, and MotoGP’s Catalan Grand Prix in mid June, according to Catalunya Radio.
Circuit boss Ramon Praderas said the bulk of the work inside the venue would be on the 40,000 square metres of asphalt otherwise known as the ‘paddock’.
“We are going to pull up the paddock and make it again,” he confirmed, explaining that the task will take two or three months.
Praderas said it will be the first time the paddock has been re-laid, at an estimated cost of $6 million, since the circuit was constructed in 1991.
