Barcelona GP Bag PolicyMeasure your bag before race day.

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya enforces bag size limits at all entrances. Standard size limits apply — measure your bag before race day rather than finding out at the gate.

Size limits

TODO: Verify official 2026 bag size limits from circuit website before publishing. Current placeholder: ~35×25×15cm.
  • Standard size limit: approximately 35×25×15cm (verify official 2026 limits from circuit website)
  • No clear bag requirement (unlike US venues)
  • Small backpacks and soft-sided bags that fit the limit: permitted
  • Large backpacks (30L+): commonly rejected

What's permitted

  • Bags within size limits: yes
  • Outside food in reasonable quantities: generally permitted (confirm on circuit website)
  • Refillable water bottle (empty on entry): yes
  • Sealed small water bottle: yes
  • Ear protection: yes
  • Phone charger and power bank: yes

What's not permitted

  • Aerosol cans (deodorant, sunscreen spray): not permitted — use lotion or stick versions
  • Umbrellas (large): check current policy
  • Professional camera equipment / detachable lenses: restricted
  • Glass bottles: no

If your bag is rejected

Lockers are available near the main entrance — paid, limited availability. If you drove, returning to your car is an option, but factor the time into your arrival plan.

There is no storage option at the gate itself. The solution: check the limits, measure your bag the night before.
