The Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix at Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão is expected to return to the calendar in 2027, bringing Formula 1 back to one of Europe’s most spectacular modern circuits. Known for its dramatic elevation changes, blind crests and flowing high-speed corners, the Algarve track offers one of the most exciting layouts in modern motorsport.

Often compared to a rollercoaster, the Portimão circuit pushes drivers to their limits with constant elevation changes and technical sequences. Famous sections such as the fast downhill approach into Turn 1 and the sweeping final corner leading onto the main straight create thrilling racing and excellent overtaking opportunities. The combination of high-speed sections, challenging braking zones and changing grip levels makes the circuit both demanding and unpredictable.

Located in Portugal’s beautiful Algarve region, the circuit offers much more than just racing. Visitors can enjoy stunning Atlantic coastline views, golden beaches and the relaxed atmosphere of southern Portugal. From exploring the historic streets of Portimão and nearby Lagos to tasting fresh seafood and local Portuguese cuisine, the Formula 1 weekend in the Algarve promises an unforgettable experience both on and off the track.
