Racing Portugal

Karting Algarve and racing Algarve is fun for the whole family, combining leisure and competition. Great fun for families, children, friends and companies.

Racing Portugal

International Autodrome Algarve

The international Autodrome Algarve is located just outside Portimao and offers racing Algarve as well as karting Algarve. Designed to be one of the best and most modern circuits in Europe, it has 32 different layouts and is FIA and FIM approved. State-of-the-art facilities together with an amazing track make the AIA one of the best circuits in the world. Designed to be one of the best and most modern circuits in Europe, the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve will benefit from the best conditions of safety and comfort both for drivers and the public. The Autodrome offers a safe and perfect place for racing Algarve and karting Algarve.

Racing Portugal

Racing Algarve

As motor sport is the key component of the project, it has been overseen since the beginning by the world governing bodies, the FIA and the FIM. The plans for the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve were approved by the FIA for Formula 1 and by the FIM for Super Bikes. As a matter of interest, the F1 version is different from the motorcycling circuit circuit, a good indication of how detailed the project is and the extent to which the sense of spectacle will be maximized in races for both types of vehicle.

The total capacity of the racing Algarve circuit will be 100,000 spectators, with 15,000 seats in the main stand and the remaining seats in other stands, and standing room in areas around the track. There will be a spectacular view of the circuit from all of these vantage points.

There will also be VIP boxes providing a range of services such as catering, above the pits and in the main stand. The VIP Tower is the project trademark.
It is planned that major races Algarve in the world motor racing and motorcycling championships will be held at the circuit, with the World Superbike Championship and the World Endurance Championship being firm fixtures. These races are broadcast worldwide on more than 80 television channels reaching more than 2 billion viewers, thus ensuring unparalleled publicity for the Algarve and for Portugal.

Events in the National Motor Racing and Motorcycling championships will also take place at the Algarve International Race Circuit. That means spectacular racing Algarve!

Karting Portugal

Karting Algarve

Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve is one of Europe’s largest kart circuits which can operate three tracks simultaneously. It even has a track for children up to 6 years of age who like to go karting Algarve. The venue also has a restaurant, boxes and shops and more than 50 different Kart categories for hire. In addition the track can be used for driving courses similar to those run by the racetrack as well as driving courses for karts. There will be no lack of official races, karting and championship trials and private competitions.

Karting Algarve is not only for competitions. The kart track is also a favorite place for testing, with artificially wet zones, to complement the existing Autódromo Internacional do Algarve. Companies and teams will find this the ideal place for a variety of events, whether they want to hire meeting rooms, launch a new product or simply hold ‘team-building’ exercises. Karting Algarve is fun for lots of people and companies.

The Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve is, without doubt, a place of leisure and entertainment for fans, companies, families and children, who will all find a place of great fun here. For racing Algarve or karting Algarve.
