The Pedralbes Circuit (Spanish: Circuito de Pedralbes) was a 6.333 km (3.935 mi) street racing course in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.[1]
First opened in 1946 in the western suburbs of the city, in the Pedralbes neighbourhood, the course featured wide streets and expansive, sweeping corners; both drivers and racing fans loved the course. The circuit hosted the Penya Rhin Grand Prix four times (1946,[1][2] 1948,[1][3] 1950[4] and 1954.[5][6]). The circuit also hosted the Spanish Grand Prix in 1951 and 1954[7][1][8][9][10][11][12][13] Due to stricter safety rules following the 1955 Le Mans disaster, the Pedralbes Circuit was permanently retired as a racing venue.[7][1][8][14]
