'''Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto''' (formerly known as '''Circuito de Jerez''' and '''Circuito de Velocidad Jerez'''), is a {{convert|4.428|km|mi|abbr=on}} racing circuit located close to the city of [[Jerez de la Frontera]], {{convert|90|km|mi|adj=on}} south of [[Seville]] and deep within the [[sherry]]-producing region in the south of Spain. The project was led by the Spanish engineer Manuel Medina Lara, based on a preliminary idea from Alessandro Rocci.

==Circuit history==
[[File:Circuito de Jerez (4360360194).jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[Sebastian Vettel]] at the [[2010 Formula One World Championship|2010 testing sessions]], with [[Red Bull RB6]].]]
The circuit opened on 8 December 1985. During 1986 the circuit hosted the first international motorcycle event in Spain in March and the [[Formula One]] [[Spanish Grand Prix]] in April. The circuit's relatively remote location hindered significant spectator turnout, although up to 125,000 can be accommodated. Because of this, F1 moved to [[Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya|Barcelona]] following the [[1990 Spanish Grand Prix|1990 race]].

In 1992, the track eliminated four corners to create the long right hander ''Curva Sito Pons''. Due to the hosting of the [[European Grand Prix]] in 1994, a new chicane was created (the ''Senna'' curve) at the corner where [[Martin Donnelly (racing driver)|Martin Donnelly]] had a career-ending accident during qualifying for the [[1990 Spanish Grand Prix]]. Jerez also hosted the [[1997 European Grand Prix]], which was the championship decider between [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Jacques Villeneuve]], who collided during the race.

During the podium celebrations of the 1997 race, Jerez's Mayor Pedro Pacheco disrupted the podium celebrations by presenting a trophy that was supposed to be presented by a dignitary from Daimler-Benz. This incident resulted in the track being banned from hosting a Grand Prix ever.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://f1destinations.com/every-spanish-venue-which-has-hosted-formula-1/ |title=Every Spanish Circuit which has Hosted Formula 1 |website=f1destinations.com |date=16 May 2022 |access-date=19 March 2024}}</ref> It has not hosted another Grand Prix since, but continued to be used for winter testing until 2015.

During 2005, the track was resurfaced. It was expected that the [[Champ Car|Champ Car World Series]] would race there in [[2008 Champ Car season|2008]]<ref>{{cite news |title=CHAMP CAR: 2008 Schedules Confirmed |url=http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/champcar/41439/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080206183238/http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/champcar/41439/ |publisher=speedtv.com |date=11 April 2007 |archive-date=6 February 2008 |access-date=4 February 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> until the series was cancelled early in the year after merging with the [[IndyCar Series]].

[[File:Circuito de Jerez.jpg|thumb|right|420px|The track during {{f1|2010}} F1 pre-season testing]]
On 2 May 2013, it was announced that the final corner would be renamed after Spanish then four-time and reigning world champion (250cc - [[2006 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2006]], [[2007 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2007]]; MotoGP - [[2010 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2010]], [[2012 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2012]]) [[Jorge Lorenzo]].<ref>{{cite news |title= MotoGP Twitter| url=https://twitter.com/MotoGP/status/329927204307861505| access-date=2013-02-05|date=2013-02-05}}</ref>

In 2017, [[2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship|FIA Formula 2]] hosted a stand-alone event on October 7 and 8 at the circuit.

On 3 May 2018, the circuit was renamed in honor of the former motorcyclist [[Ángel Nieto]], who died in 2017.

On 3 May 2019, the sixth corner (formerly ''Curva Dry Sac'') was renamed after [[Dani Pedrosa]], retired three-time world champion (125cc - [[2003 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2003]]; 250cc - [[2004 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2004]], [[2005 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|2005]]) and three-time runner-up in the MotoGP class.<ref>{{Cite web|last=López-Rey|first=Alex|date=2019-05-03|title=Dani Pedrosa inaugura su curva en el Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto|url=https://www.motorbikemag.es/dani-pedrosa-curva-circuito-jerez-angel-nieto-inauguracion/|access-date=2021-03-11|website=Motorbike Magazine|language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2019-05-03|title=Jerez Turn 6 named after Pedrosa|url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2019/05/03/jerez-turn-6-named-after-pedrosa/290711|url-status=live|access-date=2021-03-11|website=MotoGP.com|publisher=[[Dorna Sports]]|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190505054137/http://www.motogp.com:80/en/news/2019/05/03/jerez-turn-6-named-after-pedrosa/290711 |archive-date=2019-05-05 }}</ref>

==Weather and climate==
Jerez racetrack is located near the airport where the city's official weather station is located. The site has a hot-summer [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Csa'' with mild and rainy winters coupled with hot summers with pronounced drought. As a result, all of Jerez' Formula One and MotoGP races have been held during shoulder seasons when the air temperatures normally are gentler. The current placement of the MotoGP event in early May has reduced rainfall risk compared to the previous April date, as well as raising the likely average temperature by several degrees. Formula One races used to be held in latter parts of the autumn, but were discontinued after 1997.

Jerez used to be a primary winter testing venue for Formula One and remains so for both MotoGP and the [[Superbike World Championship]], in part due to the favourable temperatures in winter mimicking potential conditions during the race season farther north in Europe even in January.
