The Montjuïc circuit was a street circuit located on the Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The circuit was also the venue for the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix twelve times between 1951 and 1976. The circuit hosted four Formula One Grand Prix races on non consecutive years between 1969 and 1975. The final Formula One Grand Prix it hosted was notable for both a fatal crash that led to Formula One abandoning the venue and for being the only occasion to date, that a female driver has scored World Championship points.
