HRT has finally confirmed that it will move to a new home in Madrid.

For its first two years the team has been based at the German facility of former team boss Colin Kolles, and more recently it had a temporary base in Valencia.

It has been looking for a new home in Spain – with financial considerations obviously a primary factor in the process. The team will now be based at the Complejo Deportivo Madrid Caja Mágica, a new business and exhibition complex. The team will move in in May.

Team boss Luis Perez Sala said: “We’ve been working hard for months and establishing our permanent headquarters was very important. Finding a space in which we could all work together was vital, in order to optimize work and generate a good team feeling, a sense of belonging.

“When the adaptation of the facilities is completed and every department starts working under the same roof in a few months, we will only have one step left to take, which is to have the design department in Madrid too. All this implies not only becoming a place to feel identified with and carry out activities for the team, its sponsors, suppliers and fans, but also an important reference in technology and R&D in the center of Madrid.”
