SYSTEMS OF DEFENSE  
On the Straights On the Curves

  • Concrete walls as a first line protection.
  • Steel nets on teel posts reinforced by horizontal cables as a second line of protection in public areas. In Angel Nieto and Peluqui curves as well as Expo '92 and Michelin, this Steel net is made of reinforced steel of 6 milimetres wide.

  • Gravel beds with a minimun deep of 30 cm.
  • Circuito de Jerez disposes of 700 metres of the new and revolutionary safety system called "air fence". This system, consists of compressed air modules designed to absorb the hit of a fallen rider, replacing straw bales in motorcycle races. Jerez was the first circuit to offer this safety device.
  • The same safety sustems explained above for the straights.
