The Legend of Alberto Ascari
We owe our name to the legendary two-times F1 World Champion,
Alberto Ascari. The only Italian driver ever to have won two F1 World
Championships for Ferrari, Ascari was also acknowledged as a great
exponent of sportsmanship and fearlessness on track.
Ascari’s legend is the linchpin of our philosophy, and our approach to
motorsport.

Welcome to Ascari
Ascari is situated near Ronda (Malaga), in an area of incomparable

motorsport lovers, as well as to cater to private corporate events and
promotional presentations. To this end, the highest quality of facilities
and service is underpinned by truly personalised attention.
Ascari was conceived with real passion, and crafted in an exclusive but
informal style, with respect for both the landscape and the environment
a major consideration. It is important to us that our visitors should
appreciate this philosophy, and that they delight in a unique and unfor-
gettable experience that will meet, and even exceed all expectations.
The concept behind Ascari is that of a dream come true. Join us, and we

The track
Ascari is the longest track in Spain, and “one of the most spectacular in
the world”.
The full circuit is 5,425 metres long, with a consistent width of 12.2
metres. It can be sub-divided into three different sections or combina-
tions, enabling separate events or aspects of driver training to be run
simultaneously.
The 26 corners of this anti-clockwise circuit are divided into 13 right-
hand and 13 left-hand turns, offering a balanced course for both the
driver and the vehicle. Variety ensures a good mix of tight bends and
sweeping curves. To further challenge both car and driver, the track
includes bends with up to 18% banking, 12% ascents and descents, and
demanding chicanes.
The semi-draining asphalt surface is constructed to the highest
standards for consistency and a good balance between grip, durability
and tyre wear.
The design imperative to take the existing rugged terrain into account
has resulted in a track whose distinctive character is challenging and
appealing to the driver, yet whose presence has minimal negative impact
on the environment.
The backdrop to Ascari is a nature lovers’ paradise. Mountains and
indigenous woodland characterise a terrain intentionally devoid of
advertising boards and other manifestations of commerce common to
other race circuits. Within that brief, all the passive safety installations
have been designed to be as visually low key as possible.
