It promises to be a breathtaking spectacle, add to that the vibrant Aquabikes competition, including races and freestyle sessions and it is a major sporting event for the island. The tow locations for the Mediterranean Grand Prix are Marina Ibiza, which will provide the base of the paddock and the Class-1 boxes and will be the start and finish of the races, as well as the podiums after every series.
