IndyCar confirms Barcelona race for 2027 calendar

IndyCar has confirmed it will add a race in Barcelona to its 2027 calendar. The event, billed as the inaugural IndyCar Grand Prix of Barcelona, is scheduled for July 16-18, 2027, at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The addition means IndyCar will return to Europe in 2027. RaceFans reported the Circuit de Catalunya will host the series after losing its Formula 1 grand prix, giving Spain's Alex Palou a home race.

Fernando Alonso supported IndyCar's decision to race in Barcelona. However, he also warned the series against expanding too far internationally.
