He Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya manages to replace the Ricardo Tormo circuit as the venue for the final GP of the season. MotoGPwhere the World Cup will be determined between Jorge Martín and Pecco Bagnaia. Joseph Lluís Santamaríadirector of the Montmeló track, spoke to the press, together with the MD, before the GP dispute this weekend to review all the keys to this express organization.
How is it organized?
“DORNA called asking if we could hold the last GP to decide the championship. They didn’t want the championship to be decided without the last GP. We had to find alternatives and DORNA asked the Generalitat of Catalonia to do it here In house. Once we had, we got the green light and we went into action immediately, obviously the whole process, preparing it in advance is not the same as preparing it in 10 days, but our team is very good.
“It is an honor for us that they trust us, because it could not be otherwise. I want to highlight that the CEO of DORNA was the first director of the Circuit and he knows very well the capabilities of the infrastructure and the people here.”
“This is a completely different setup. We put all our experience in organizing large events and we set it up immediately. It was a test that was not planned and everything had to be set up before 10 days for everything to be operational. On Friday, we made available ticketing services and a platform for marketing tickets.
The name of the GP
“The reason the GP called GP Solidario is that it is the reason of being. Here we don’t need to put names other than Solidaridad. What we do is to raise money for Valencia and its people. In the end we decided DORNA with the governments what should be the name of this last GP of the season”
Reduced capacity and available activities
“Within 10 days, we will not be able to set up or legalize all the structures that we can activate in a normal GP. The public capacity was lower then. Now we are over 40,000 tickets sold and the maximum capacity will not exceed 50,000. The response of This solidarity GP is very high there is also the ‘row 0’ initiative to be able to make donations that will later go to those affected in Valencia through the initiative”
“There is another series of activities in this sense. On Friday and Saturday afternoon, in the Fan Zone, a solidarity auction will be held with all the teams involved. One of the most prominent pieces is one of the motorcycles by Maverick Viñales. “All. is involved in it, the pilots come first you can participate on the site but also online.”
