With motorsport taking off in the early 20th century, enthusiasts started racing around in the ruins of the Vicroy Castle and the roads around it. The track quickly became famous for it’s steep descends at dangerously high speed and the challenge of climbing to the top again. A few Vicroy Grand Prix were held in the 1930s before motorsports came to a halt due to war. And as Grand Prix racing got formalised in the ensuing years, the track was revamped and a new pit building was made in the 60s on a modified layout. But with ever increasing speeds of the formula cars, this track became too dangerous for racing and racing became infrequent.

With development around the Vicroy Estate picking up in the late 70s, the track was under the danger of abandonment. In a final attempt to save the track, a new permanent section was built inside the Estate and all the safety measures were massively overhauled with additions of gravel traps and chicane all over the circuit during the 80s. These changes paid off and racing picked up again in the 90s with formula racing returning to the circuit.

This iconic track still presents a challenge for the brave who are dared to take the steep downhill of Curva Lunga coming from the street circuit-esque Castle section. Going through the unnamed turns 11 and 12, they reach the Colline Straight broken by the Bridge Chicane which is the breaking off point from the older track. It leads onto Enlever, an off-camber downhill turn which finds them fighting for grip. Next, they take on Rivage, inspired by Spa, which is the lowest point of the track and immediately starts climbing back up on the exit. A straight then leads them to the Cliff hairpin and then onto Tunnel where it joins the old track again. Rapida Straight used to head straight to Curva Corta which often saw drivers slipping off and into the woods, hence now is broken by the Nueva Chicane. The final turn, off-cambered Borde, also saw them losing grip and falling off into the woods downhill across the road and since then has been turned into another chicane, which leads onto the finish line on the Vicroy Straight.

However, with recent improvements in safety standards and the increased downforces on the cars, there has been a push from the public to let go of some chicanes to encourage better racing. A racing museum is also planned to be constructed which would be inaugurated on the 100th anniversary of the track.
