The 2003 Spanish Grand Prix has been awarded the 2003 Best Grand Prix prize from Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Management (FOM) group.
The prize, which recognises the best-organised Grand Prix of the season, was won by the promoters of the Spanish event held on May 4 2003 at the the Catalunya circuit near Barcelona.
Ecclestone presented the award to Sebastian Salvado, president of the RACC (Royal Automobile Club Catalunya) at the FIA Gala Prize-Giving ceremony held in Monaco on Friday December 12.
"I am very happy and proud to have been given this outstanding award for our country," said Salvado in a statement issued by FOM.
"It helps us underline and showcase that the team from the Circuit de Catalunya in Montmelo near Barcelona has been able to organise the Spanish Grand Prix with high quality under demanding conditions, and plenty of pressure.
"The entire team had to work very efficiently, and very effectively. They simply gave their best and achieved our goal to become the best organised Grand Prix."
