Revving Up for a Comeback: Montjuïc Mountain Eyes Formula E Races!

In an electrifying turn of events, Montjuïc mountain, a historic venue that once thrilled motorsport fans with its Formula 1 Grands Prix, could soon roar back to life as a major international racing destination. Long before the Circuit de Catalunya opened its doors in Montmelò, Montjuïc was the place where racing legends were born. Now, a pivotal push from Barcelona city councilor Daniel Sirera is reigniting hopes for a grand resurgence.

Sirera, representing the conservative People's Party, is advocating for Mayor Jaume Collboni to champion Montjuïc as the host track for an upcoming Formula E race in 2027. As organizers set their sights on new destinations for this high-octane series, Sirera is rallying support to bring the thrill of electric car racing back to Catalonia.

"Barcelona has the opportunity to host a Formula E race: technology, sustainability, and spectacle on wheels," Sirera passionately conveyed on social media. He emphasized the need for investment in Montjuïc, a circuit steeped in history that deserves to vibrate with the energy of racing once more.

The idea of a Formula E event at Montjuïc not only promises to showcase cutting-edge automotive technology but also aligns with global sustainability goals, making it a perfect fit for the modern racing landscape. As the countdown begins for 2027, all eyes are on Barcelona to see if this iconic mountain can reclaim its place in the fast lane of motorsport history.
