The Jerez circuit is nestled in a valley south of the Iberian Peninsula … thus prayed one of the descriptions of the Cadiz layout in one of the first MotoGP games. Its location, taking advantage of the orography, has given us one of the most beautiful and spectacular clues in the world, but this time has played against him.
For those who have frequently traveled to the Jerez circuit they know that the rain is usual and can appear practically at any time of the year. Much or little, it depends on the occasion, but much more than one would expect from an area located in so southern Spain. But it is no accident, Grazalema, the town in which it rains in our country, is precisely in Cádiz, about 74 kilometers from the road circuit.

The peculiarities of the Jerez circuit have played against them
On this occasion, as we said, the valley in which the circuit is located, added to the large amount of water and hail that was the first thing that rushed on the layout, has led to a large part of the track and the facilities have been totally flooded with water.
In the many videos and photos that circulate through the network, it can be seen, it depends on the moment they were taken, the way in which the water has been arriving in the Paddock area and how it has been going up until it floods it completely. The water channeling through the tunnels and the unevenness has been accumulating it in part due to the hail that had previously fallen.
The Jerez circuit is serious, very serious. At least I think all the workers are fine and could leave on time.
This video has happened to me. There are new works, mud on track … Puff. What a disaster.
Courage to all workers of the circuit ❤️🫶🏽 pic.twitter.com/5rnlty6f2D
