What it is
The atmosphere is relaxed, with an open paddock, classic car club displays and plenty of families. A good choice if you love cars but want to avoid MotoGP-sized crowds.
Timetables and tickets are published on the circuit’s website and the festival’s official site in the weeks before.
Tips for your visit
- Visit the paddock in the morning, while the cars are being prepared.
- Bring an extra layer: at the end of October the wind at the circuit cools things down in the late afternoon.
- 1 November is a public holiday in Portugal — a good excuse for a long weekend.
