MotorLand Aragón was designed by German circuit architect Hermann Tilke in conjunction with the British firm Foster and Partners, with Formula One driver Pedro de la Rosa serving as a technical and sporting consultant during the project. The circuit measures 5.344 km and is located near the city of Alcañiz. The facility was conceived as more than a racing circuit, incorporating a technology park, a sports area with multiple track configurations and a karting circuit, and a leisure zone with a hotel and business centre.
The venue was announced on 26 May 2008 as host for the World Series by Renault in 2009, making it the first international championship to race there. MotoGP followed in 2010 when MotorLand Aragón was confirmed on 18 March as a replacement for the Balatonring, where construction overruns had forced the cancellation of the planned Hungarian Grand Prix. The circuit had been designated a reserve event and was ready to take the slot immediately. In March 2011, Dorna Sports signed a contract making the Aragon round a permanent calendar entry until at least 2016.
MotorLand Aragón is regarded as a technical and high-speed circuit that challenges riders with long corners requiring sustained lean angle and strong braking stability. The lap begins with a long main straight descending into a tight first corner, one of the primary overtaking opportunities. The circuit climbs and falls through the Alcañiz landscape, with several long-radius, high-speed curves in the second half of the lap that put particular demands on tyre wear.
The circuit typically hosts the Aragon round in late August or September, coinciding with the period when the MotoGP championship is entering its decisive final phase. The timing, combined with the technical nature of the track and its status as a relatively newer venue, has made the Aragon Grand Prix a significant round in several championship battles.
MotorLand Aragón has hosted the Superbike World Championship since 2011 and was a venue for the World Touring Car Cup until 2022. The circuit also served as a temporary additional venue during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, hosting the Teruel motorcycle Grand Prix as a second Spanish round in that compressed season.
The circuit has been the site of two fatalities in junior categories. In July 2021, 14-year-old rider Hugo Millán died following a crash during the European Talent Cup round. In July 2025, Spanish JuniorGP racer Pau Alsina also died after a crash during a practice session at the circuit.
The race has carried various title sponsors since its inaugural edition. It ran as the Gran Premio A-Style de Aragón in 2010, then under Iveco sponsorship from 2012 to 2013, and under Movistar from 2014 to 2018. Michelin held the naming rights in 2019 and 2020, followed by Tissot in 2021 and Animoca Brands in 2022. GoPro became the title sponsor from 2024, with the event running as the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon. As of 2025 the race continues under the GoPro banner.
