Both cities have international airports. ^[2][3][4][5]

In 2019, Formula E's all-electric autonomous feeder racing series Roborace raced here.

Monteblanco circuit is used for professional motorsport and motor industry events and testing programs.^[6]

• GP Circuit Length: 4,430 m
• 26 variants of circuit characteristics and different average speeds
• 12 possible combinations for simultaneous use of two completely independent tracks
• 3 independent pit-lanes
• Internal circuit of 1,437 m equipped with sprinklers and epoxy surface for wet weather testing conditions
• Maximum circuit length 4,730 m

Facilities are very high quality throughout the circuit with 24 garages and all of the facilities which are expected at a circuit of this nature ^[10]

33,000 m2 paddock divided into two zones for dynamic tests such as slalom, curve tracing, emergency braking, acceleration / traction, car dynamics (understeer / oversteer), wet skid control and stability control. The sprinkler system design offers wet weather conditions simulation and our 70m x 4m area of epoxy surface can be used to test braking without adhesion.

The design of Monteblanco includes 26 variants of track and 12 combinations for the use of two circuits simultaneously.
