Grand Prix Gold: Spain 1991
A true classic - the 1991 Spanish Grand Prix was the first at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. It was also the scene of that Mansell/Senna side-by-side duel and a dramatic victory that kept the world championship title fight alive...
This was one of Mansell's greatest. A race he had to win, a race he did win. Nigel goes to Japan with a thread of hope for the world championship, and must trust that at Suzuka Senna's fortunes go as in Spain.
Building site racing strikes again! After the mud hills and bulldozers of Estoril, the Formula 1 circus raced across the Iberian Peninsula and set up shop to the north of Barcelona. It is a city in the midst of massive reconstruction, in preparation for the Olympic Games next year.
