Circuito de Jerez formerly known as Circuito Permanente de Jerez, is a 4.428km racing circuit located close to the city of Jerez de la Frontera, 90 km (55 mi) south of Seville and deep within the sherry-producing south of Spain. The project was led by the Spanish engineer Manuel Medina Lara, based on a preliminary idea from Alessandro Rocci.
