Madring opponents plan court challenge after debut race

Residents near the new Madring circuit are preparing to challenge the venue in court due to concerns over noise and disruption caused by the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix. The STOP Formula 1 group has collected noise readings and is considering legal action, although no formal case has been filed yet. They argue that the event benefits only a few businesses while local neighborhoods suffer from the impact.

The Madrid court previously denied a request to halt parts of the circuit's project, allowing the race to proceed. Organizers reported a significant turnout of around 350,000 attendees, while local leaders praised the event. The legal opposition is gathering momentum as the race organizers begin dismantling the temporary infrastructure.
