How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Gran Turismo 7 includes the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix layout, the shorter National layout and a rallycross course. The main grandstand, with its long curved roof over the start and finish straight, is recreated in detail.
The real place
The circuit at Montmeló opened in 1991, just before Barcelona hosted the Olympic Games, and has held the Spanish Grand Prix since then. Its mix of fast and slow corners made it a favourite for Formula 1 winter testing, and it also hosts the Catalan round of MotoGP.
Visiting
Montmeló is about 30 km north of Barcelona and can be reached by local train, followed by a walk or a shuttle on race days. The circuit runs tours and track days; check the official calendar before you go.
