The circuit was also the venue for the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix from 1950 to 1968, and then hosted the event on even-numbered years until 1976.[1] The last Formula One Grand Prix held there in 1975, is notable for both a fatal crash that led to Formula One abandoning the venue and the only occasion to date that a female driver has scored World Championship points.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Lap records[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]By 1908 international motorsport was conducted at the Circuit Baix Pened\u00e8s with the Copa Catalunya. In 1923 the first Great automobile Prize of Spain in the permanent Sitges Terramar circuit was run near Barcelona. In 1932 a race was held on a street circuit with the start in the Montju\u00efc Park, wooded parkland on a hill above the city’s harbour. The course of the 1933 east circuit of that race became the Montju\u00efc Circuit proper, holding the Penya Rhin Grand Prix.In 1968, Montju\u00efc was selected as the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix, which had been held at the Jarama circuit in Madrid, with the inaugural Grand Prix being held there on 4 May 1969. The variable character of the anticlockwise course (with one half slow and the other very fast) made setting the cars up correctly a challenge.The 1975 Spanish Grand Prix was marked by tragedy. Many drivers felt that the circuit was unsafe, and two time world champion Emerson Fittipaldi withdrew in protest before the start of the race. On lap 26 the Embassy Hill-Lola car of Rolf Stommelen left the track, killing four people. The race was subsequently stopped before half distance and half points awarded, with Jochen Mass being recorded as the winner. Lella Lombardi became the first and only female driver to score world championship points, taking 0.5 points for 6th place. Formula One never returned to the circuit after the accident.The circuit of Montju\u00efc was also the scene of the 24 hours of Montju\u00efc, a motorcycle endurance race from 1960 to 1982.The area where the circuit was located is now part of Anella Ol\u00edmpica, where many Venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics are now located.In 2004, the city council of Barcelona decided to mark the layout of the old circuit.On 13\u201314 October 2007 the circuit was used for the Martini Legends, to honour the 75th anniversary of the circuit. Signalling the return of Formula One cars to Montju\u00efc, Emerson Fittipaldi (re-)appeared in his Lotus 72, and Marc Gen\u00e9 drove a contemporary Ferrari.Lap records[edit]The official race lap records at the Montju\u00efc circuit are listed as:References[edit]External links[edit]Links to related articles  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/montjuic-circuit-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Montju\u00efc circuit – Wikipedia"}}]}]
