The venue for round nine of the inaugural
A1 Grand Prix series has one of the most spectacular backdrops
of any circuits on the international motorsport scene. Sure,
there are impressive mountains surrounding the city of Monterrey
in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, but it's the
disused steelworks around which it threads that dominates
the skyline.
The 2005-06 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Mexico
was a A1 Grand Prix race, held on the weekend of February
26, 2006 at the Fundidora Park Circuit.
Fundidora Park is a public park located east
Monterrey, Mexico, inside the former Monterrey Foundry real
estate.
The Monterrey Foundry (Monterrey Steel
Foundry Company) operated from 1900 until its bankruptcy in
1986. 2 years later, after having been legally declared financially
insolvent, the "Fideicomiso Fundidora" (Fundidora
Escrow) was installed to administrate the Park.
