A unique track is already under construction, this is the first time that a mobile facility will have been built. Located on asphalt pavement of 12.000m², the oval track will have a perimeter of 200 meters.

Speed is one the disciplines that will attract the most attention during the World Roller Games, that will take place in Barcelona from the 4th to the 14th of July 2019. Proximity to the public will be one of its biggest attractions, since it will be spread around many venues in the Heart of the Condal City: Passeig de Gràcia/Avinguda Diagonal, Avinguda Maria Cristina and Front Marítim will be their spectacular scenarios. The latter location is where the speed track is being built: one of the most important legacies that the WRG2019 will leave to the Catalan Capital.

Located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Ronda Litoral, next to the Parc del Forum, the Front Marítim Speed Track will be a unique facility in Barcelona. An ideal scenario to the competition and to the leisure of the citizens that is also unique in the world, considering that it will be the first ephemeral speed track to be built.
