Your way onto the track.
The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve opened on 2 November 2008. The project grew from Portimão-born engineer Paulo Pinheiro’s ambition to establish an international motorsport venue in his home region. The circuit follows hilly ground, with steep climbs, descents and partially hidden corners creating a demanding rhythm. Its operator describes 32 possible configurations and identifies the 4,684-metre FIA Slow Fast version as the standard. WorldSBK instead records a 4,592-metre motorcycle course for 2026; the two configurations are kept separate. A separate trackday programme accommodates drivers bringing their own cars. Plan a visit around a confirmed event and check the configuration explicitly named for that session.
