The race was held just one week after the 1926 European Grand Prix held on the same circuit. The European Grand Prix was a round of the 1926 AIACR World Championship, so was held to the 1.5 litre formula. The Spanish Grand Prix was held to Formula Libre, and so the Bugatti and Delage factory entries ran their 1925 2-litre cars.[1]

gollark: I've never actually written OC code intensive enough for it to be a problem. But I don't use OC much, because I generally want to just plonk down a cheap computer to control one specific fiddly task.
gollark: It has RAM limits for example. That is not a bug.
gollark: Not buggy, limited...
gollark: It does deliberately apply limits to stuff which CC doesn't.
gollark: Well, and the stuff it uses as modules.
