Circuit Ricardo Tormo

Formula E

The circuit has been used by Formula E as a pre-season testing venue since 2017 (with the exception of 2024). On 28 January 2021, it was announced that the circuit would host the Valencia ePrix as the 5th and 6th round of the 2020–21 Formula E World Championship, to be held on 24 April 2021, replacing the cancelled Paris ePrix. It was the first time an ePrix has been held on a permanent race circuit, albeit on a unique configuration. One of the differences between the normal track for pre-season testing and the track used for the race was the installation of a temporary chicane in the start/finish straight. The track then turns right immediately after the exit of turn 8.

In October 2024, flooding in the area forced pre-season testing to be relocated to the Circuito del Jarama near Madrid on 5–8 November 2024.

In other media

The track has been recreated in the videogames Tourist Trophy and Gran Turismo PSP. The track also appears in other video games like Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano, GTR Evolution and rFactor as well. As it is a MotoGP round host, the track has appeared in every MotoGP game since its début in 1999, and the SBK games from 2006 to 2013. The latest recreation of the track was in Assetto Corsa Competizione in 2023.
