FUENGIROLA
SORRY, SOME DATA ARE NOT TRANSLATED YET
Description Between the end of 1982 and the beginning of 1983 Richard Ratcliffe proposed a street circuit at Fuengirola. Barry Bland (Formula Two Association) hoped it could host a F.2 race in September 1983. During following months, this proposal was modified as you can see on the map. On April 29th, September 23rd or October 21st 1984 it should have hosted Spain F.1 GP, but in May 1984 GP has been canceled because of safety problems. It was never developed.
