The Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix<\/strong>, held from September 11 to 13, 2026, brought the top tier of motorsports back to Madrid after more than four decades. The transformation of the area around IFEMA and Valdebebas into the MADRING <\/strong>semi-urban circuit posed <\/strong>a large-scale challenge in terms of engineering, production, and coordination.<\/p>\n\n

Along with other event staffing companies, at Workout Events, we were involved in every stage of the project<\/strong>, deploying a team of more than 1,100 professionals<\/strong> and coordinating more than 5,400 work shifts across the circuit setup, competition days, and subsequent teardown. <\/p>\n\n

Building the venue: setup, logistics, and safety <\/h2>\n\n

Preparing the 5.4-kilometer course in the IFEMA and Valdebebas area required months of planning and constant on-site work, involving more than 500 workers in this first phase:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Installation of bleachers, temporary structures, and tarps.<\/strong> Our installation team set up the bleachers for the audience along the entire route, in addition to assembling the modular structures for the fan<\/em> zones and setting up the corporate and hospitality<\/em> areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Logistics management and loading and unloading tasks.<\/strong> Working in rotating shifts, we handle the receipt, sorting, and distribution of<\/strong> the heaviest materials, the items needed to set up the paddock<\/em>, and all the technical equipment for the competition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Constant supervision by our in-house Occupational Safety and Health team.<\/strong> To ensure safe work environments in an operation of this scale, we have technicians from our own Occupational Risk Prevention department permanently on-site, supervising compliance with regulations, the proper use of PPE, and safety protocols during every assembly and loading operation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Race Days: Coordination and Guest Services<\/h2>\n\n

    During the three days of the Grand Prix, we mobilized nearly 400 professionals dedicated to providing the best experience for attendees and ensuring the smooth operation of each area: <\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Real-time coordination.<\/strong> Our team leaders were on-site at all times to coordinate staff and quickly address any production needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Cleaning and support services.<\/strong> We consistently maintained hygienic conditions in the stands, entryways, common areas, and VIP sections before, during, and after the on-track activity, and we also had support staff on hand to provide continuous assistance with any operational needs that arose at the venue. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Hostesses and promoters.<\/strong> Our team of hostesses was present at various booths run by sponsoring brands, enhancing the audience\u2019s experience through games and prize giveaways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Kitchen staff, waitstaff, and bartenders.<\/strong> We have kitchen staff, waitstaff, and bartenders providing continuous service in both the main areas and the catering areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Signature cocktails.<\/strong> The venue\u2019s most exclusive areas, such as the Paddock Club and Club 91, featured high-end cocktails provided by Premium Mixes (a specialized subsidiary of our business group) throughout the Grand Prix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Technical Maintenance and Infrastructure.<\/strong> We had a team of support technicians on site during the races to address any structural issues in real time, performing spot repairs on seats, steps, and access points in the stands right in the middle of the event without disrupting the audience\u2019s experience. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Security personnel.<\/strong> In partnership with Coassie, an industry partner with whom we collaborate, we have certified security guards who control access and monitor the sales areas in the official F1 stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      The Challenge of Dismantling: 7 Days to Clear the Urban Area<\/h2>\n\n

      The dismantling and removal of the temporary structures began that very night, Sunday, September 13, following the awards ceremony. With the goal of clearing the space by September 20 and restoring the fairgrounds to normal, we deployed a team of more than 250 workers: <\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Dismantling in the urban section.<\/strong> We removed the bleachers and safety barriers along the 1.31-kilometer stretch on streets such as Ribera del Sena and in the Las C\u00e1rcavas area, quickly clearing access to the office areas and pavilions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Dismantling of<\/strong> hospitality<\/em><\/strong>and<\/strong> paddocks<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong> We handled the removal and dismantling of the teams\u2019 lounge and VIP areas, as well as the various temporary structures on the grounds. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A return to normalcy while preserving the permanent section.<\/strong> While the other teams prepared the 3.2-kilometer urban section for regular traffic, the 2.26-kilometer permanent section in Valdebebas (notably featuring the banked curve known as La Monumental<\/em>) was preserved for future editions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
