Great news for The Algarve and the future. We need to look to the future to keep us going.
Portimão Autodromo qualified to receive FIA Formula 1 car races
The organization of the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve announced today that it has received the maximum grade 1 from the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
This implies that from now on, the circuit will be able to receive Formula 1 races as well as Grand Prix races.
It is worth remembering that, until now, Portugal only had one circuit where all the conditions to receive Formula 1 races were met, the Estoril Circuit. So now the Portimao circuit offers some competition, although under the present circumstances nobody can foresee when the first event can be organized. But at least it's a promising step forward in the right direction. Congrats!
