For now, it is not known whether any damage has been caused by these floods, but looking at the images, it is difficult to imagine that the facilities of the Jerez circuit have remained intact. A delicate situation for the Andalusian circuit, which is supposed to host the Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix on April 27. Before that, a race of the Spanish Superbike championship is to be organized on the Angel Nieto circuit on March 23. At present, the circuit has not communicated on the state of the place, nor on the holding of the next events following these floods.
