HYTracks Acquires Andalucia Circuit

Three years ago, Frenchman Brice Pineau and Belgian Olivier Muytjens created HYRacing, a racing team preparing both historic and modern cars such as Ford GT40, Shelby Cobra Daytona, Ford Mustang, De Tomaso Pantera, Porsche 911 RS, and the team has quickly become regulars in the historic paddocks.  At the same time, they began organising track days for historic cars that include coaching from drivers such as Marc Duez, Gilles Magnus, Loris Hezemans, and of course Olivier Muytjens himself.

At the end of the summer of 2024, the duo started a whole new adventure and bought the Andalucia Circuit, near Almeria, in the south of Spain.  With an average of 3000 hours of sunshine per year, the circuit is situated in Tabernas, 30 minutes from Almeria, 90 minutes from Murcia and 120 minutes from Alicante, in the heart of the only desert in Europe.

“We have acquired this exceptional 53-hectare site, which includes a car and motorcycle circuit,” announced partners Pineau and Muytjens.  The 5020-metre circuit with a width of 12 metres and extensive gravel trap clearances offers different layouts, respectively 2200m and 4000m with 17 corners and a 1060-metre straight.   With 32 garages, a 12-room hotel, a restaurant, a medical centre and offices, the Andalucia Circuit welcomes cars and motorcycles throughout the year and is popular with many in the industry and in motor sport, such as WEC and DTM.  “The primary objective is to promote the Andalucia Circuit throughout Europe, and to present its countless strengths,” continued the pair.  “It is essential that companies in the world of industry and competition realise the many possibilities that such an infrastructure offers, whatever the season.  Here, the sun shines all year round, which allows for continuous development programs, testing, etc.”
