🇵🇹Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (Portimão)

Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (commonly Portimão) is a 4.653 km, 15-corner (9 right / 6 left) motor racing circuit in the rolling hills of the western Algarve, just outside the town of Portimão, Portugal. Designed by Ricardo Pina with inspiration drawn from the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps, the circuit was completed in October 2008 and homologated by the FIM on 11 October and the FIA two days later, opening to the public on 2 November 2008. The 100,000-seat venue is built into a hillside and is famous for its extraordinary undulation — 70+ m of elevation change across the lap — with a blind crest-and-drop into Turn 1 immediately off the main straight that riders rank among the most spectacular in world motorsport. Portimão joined the MotoGP calendar from 2020 (initially as a replacement round during the COVID-19 pandemic and from 2021 as a fixed Portuguese Grand Prix), with Miguel Oliveira's 2020 home win — his first MotoGP victory — entering Portuguese motorsport folklore. The circuit also hosts the FIM Superbike World Championship, the Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix (held in 2020 and 2021) and the FIA World Endurance Championship 8 Hours of Portimão. The combination of dramatic topography, a balanced 15-corner layout and reliably warm Algarve weather has made Portimão one of the most popular winter testing and trackday venues in Europe.
