The circuit design is on the Coastal Belt from the Photographic Parador, next to the Yacht and Fishing Club to the Paitilla Hospital, continue on Calle 53  in Marbella and take Calle 50 to return to the Cinta Costera along Aquilino

"Because of the air connection, the tourist spots, the dollar and other advantages, Panama is an excellent tourist option. Panama should be a place to offer top-level sporting events i, "said the Chilean race driver Emilio Carreiro.

I sure hope this happens in Panama. I saw a Formula 1 race in Europe years ago and the energy and enthusiasm is beyond belief. But it is noisy, really loud and noisy.

It doesn't take much to bring vehicular movement to a total standstill in Panama City.

The preparation, setup, and teardown for an event of this magnitude will paralyze it for at least two weeks.
