History of the MotoGP Catalonian Grand Prix

The Catalonian Grand Prix is the second of four MotoGP events in Spain, alongside Jerez, Aragon and Valencia. First held in 1996 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, it has been held there every year since. The circuit has alternated between several layouts, including changes to Turn 10 and the optional chicane in the final sector. After the fatal crash of Luis Salom in 2016, MotoGP opted for the chicane layout, which is also used by Formula One.
