Layout & Sectors[]
Sector 1[]
For the first S, start braking using the signal on the left side of the track as your cue. Set your apex on the small kerbstones, and clear turns 1 and 2. At turn 3, which wraps wide around to the right, keep a center line at partial throttle. Maintain your steering angle constantly as you turn. Start accelerating from where you see the second orange wall on the far end.
Sector 2[]
For turn 4, start braking from around where you pass the third white line on the left side of the track. Start on the inside as you turn, and start to open the throttle from around where you can see the marshal's post on the far side of the corner. The exit is not visible, so you will need to learn the proper timing for hitting the throttle specific to each car model. Turn 5 is a hard left on a downhill slope. Be careful not to let the rear end slip out. Set your apex far into the corner.
Once you are past turn 6, get your car on the right and brake immediately to enter turn 7. On turn 8, follow along the narrow kerbstones as you exit. Turn 9 is on an ascent with a reversed band, and the exit will not be visible, but it is important to gain exit speed here for the back straight which follows. Apply a short brake to change the direction of your car, then set your apex far into the corner to reduce the effect of the incline.
Sector 3[]
For turn 10, start braking between the 150m and 100m marker boards. Once past the apex, exit in a straight line. Take a middle line to clear turn 11, then enter turn 12. Again take a middle line to go around the corner, then get on the inside at the small kerbstones on the inside to make your exit. Turns 13 to 15 are a series of low speed 90-degree corners. Use the full width of the road to keep your bottom speed up. For the final corner trace a proper out-in-out line.

Trivia[]
- Although the layout with the chicane is referred to as the Grand Prix circuit, as of 2023 the Formula 1 series has since reverted to using the layout without the chicane for the Spanish Grand Prix, which was added in GT7 version 1.20.
