Barcelona proofs with the F1 Fan Festival its commitment to renew its partnership beyond 2026. Probably influenced by the recent announcement Madrid will host the Formula 1 starting in 2026 for the next ten years, generating a total economic impact of up to €5,000M (read full post: https://lnkd.in/dRBGt3S2), this week, the city of Barcelona is hosting a fan festival in its most iconic landmarks. This includes a "Fan Festival", where motor enthusiasts can engage with the racing world, a "Fan Forum" with a series of conferences, including a panel with CEO Stefano Domenicali and pilots and the highlight, an exhibition round that took place last afternoon in Passeig de Gracia with 40,000 fans watching it live. One must consider the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has succesfully organized the race for the last 33 years and sees with the announcement of Madrid, combined with the interest of emerging economies to equally become host cities, its position threated. The current contract expires in 2026 and is being negotiated. In 2022, the Catalan Government paid a fee of €26M, which Madrid has increased to €48M every season, meaning Barcelona will need to raise its investment if they want to keep their partnership. Definetly these events not only help to drive engagement on Formula 1 enthusiasts, but also project the city of Barcelona internationally as a world tourist destination and host city of big live events. #LiveEvents #Formula1 #Tourism #Barcelona
