Layout: Fictitious (designed by me) – © 2022 AllAlongTheRacetrack
When was the track built?
Opened in 1979 after five years of works and efforts of the Automóvil Club de El Salvador, with the supervision of the FIA, it has gathered all the passion for racing in this area for more than four decades.
Thanks also to this important heritage, the new Formula One Organization has selected the area to build an extension, designed by me, that will be able to host a Grand Prix and that will maintain the original layout intact, as it will be constructed around it and the hill that overlooks it, which will be a magnificent natural 360° stand, with the inside being like a stadium around Turn 3 and 4.
All facilities, including the pits, will be rebuilt to the highest standards.
When was its first Grand Prix?
It will be the first ever Formula 1 GP in this country.
El Salvador has the thirteenth spot in the calendar of the South American Continental Series.
What’s the circuit like?
A high-average-speeds ring, with plenty of overtaking spots, designed around an historical local course and extended around a natural hill, which will be a stunning main stand and will also provide interesting elevation changes in the first sector.
The first two sectors are stop-start, while the final one is more flowy, using a bit of the existing track from T16 to T1.
Cars will run low-downforce wings. Engines, due to heavy temperatures, and braking systems will be under severe pressure.
Unpredictable heavy showers could play a part in the race results.
Where is it located?
Around 30km north-west of San Salvador, the Nation capital, 40km from its city airport and 70km from the newest International one; it is close to the small town of Nuevo Sitio del Niño. (+ 13°48’37”, – 89°19’54”)
