Formula E’s return transforms Jarama and puts Madrid on the map
Madrid is preparing for a different weekend. The Jarama circuit returns to the forefront with the arrival of Formula E. Thousands of people and a notable economic impact mark the start of a new chapter for the city.
This weekend, the Circuito del Jarama — which had gone more than 40 years without single-seaters — becomes the epicentre of Fórmula E and one of the country’s hottest destinations. The event promises to alter Madrid’s usual rhythm, especially in the northern area, with thousands of fans, heavy traffic on access roads and vibrant motoring-related activity.
The organisers expect to generate around 100 million euros in economic impact and create more than 4,000 temporary jobs. The event attracts not only motorsport fans, but also visitors looking to experience the full package: races, fan zones, parallel activities and the historic return of single-seaters to a legendary circuit.
The return of Fórmula E to Jarama is not just sport: it positions Madrid as a benchmark in electric mobility and sustainability, generates an immediate economic boom (hotels, restaurants, transport) and energises the northern area with thousands of visitors. For Madrileños, it means more traffic and a festive atmosphere on access roads, but also temporary employment opportunities, international visibility and a boost to the city’s image as an innovative hub. At a time when Madrid is betting on major events and green technology, this event marks a milestone that affects everything from people’s pockets to local pride.
