The circuit uses the street of Fundidora Park, in al old abandoned industrial area.
It has 12 bends and it has a mixed layout, with long straights, hairpins and chicanes, for this reason overtaking is very difficult.

At the second light, turn left and the street will lead you to Constitución Avenue (watch for signals). Turn right on Constitución Avenue, drive for 2.5 miles and take the exit on the right for Fundidora Avenue. You will see Fundidora Park on your right. The racecourse is inside the Park.
