Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE) euros and an execution period of 40 months.
The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Pedro Martín, pointed out in a statement that this tender, which represents “a great giant step”, will allow companies to present themselves to carry out the works, with which “this year we will be able to see machinery working”.
The tender includes the execution of three projects: the channeling of the three ravines with the defense plan against floods, the leveling and installations for removable stands and, finally, the speed track.
The First Vice President and Island Councilor for Roads, Enrique Arriaga, assures that “there are many difficulties that have arisen along the way, but we are very happy because in a few months it will be possible to start the works on this infrastructure so demanded by the thousands of fans to the motor that is on the island”.
Arriaga details that the circuit will have an area of about 650,000 square meters that will allow the celebration of “all kinds of competitions with quality and, above all, safety.”
It should be noted that the track has the approvals of the International Automobile Federation and the International Motorcycle Federation to host “top-level races”.
In any case, this space will not be exclusively for “big events”, since the objective of the insular government, Arriaga assures, is that “the motor world continues to grow in Tenerife”, and for this reason it will have facilities dedicated to training around to motor racing and there will also be plots where companies related to this sector can set up to test components, competition materials, assembly of parts and repair.
Once the works are finished, the Motor Circuit will have a layout of 4,050 meters, with a main straight of about 800 meters long and a series of secondary straights designed to facilitate overtaking, especially in the case of cars, with various ramps for motorcycles.
In addition, it will be characterized by being “one of the few circuits in the world to circulate in an anti-clockwise direction”, emphasizes the Cabildo de Tenerife in the statement.
The layout is developed with a total of 16 curves in plan, of which there will be 11 to the left and 5 to the right.
All of them will have different base radii starting from a minimum of 21 meters to a maximum of 100 meters.
Transversely, the curves will have a single slope that varies between 1% and 5% depending on the radius and speed of travel.
All this will be complemented with a 72,000 square meter ‘paddock’ prepared to accommodate all the needs required by any national or international competition. There will be 15 boxes for cars and 45 for motorcycles.
The infrastructure will also have a grandstand with capacity for more than 5,000 people, a restaurant and a shopping area. EFE
