This event, which takes place from October 24th to 26th, is one of the most anticipated events on the national sporting calendar for historic motorsport enthusiasts, promising three days of intense action, with twelve races celebrating the legacy of legendary machines and competitions.
The program, which combines demonstrations, practice sessions, qualifying, and races, offers a journey through several decades of motorsport, with all speed disciplines—Touring, GT, single-seaters, and prototypes—duly represented.
The headline race will be the "300 km Algarve Sportscars," a first for Portugal. Lasting one hundred and twenty minutes or three hundred kilometres, this race includes mandatory stops for refuelling and driver changes, accepting Prototypes built between 1963 and 1972, as well as GTs manufactured between 1966 and 1980. Held late Saturday afternoon, the race will end with the cars' headlights on, evoking the great endurance races.
The program of the revitalized Portimão classic car festival also includes some of the most exciting classic car series today, such as the Iberian Historic Endurance, a benchmark competition for Touring and GT cars until 1976, which will have two grids and four races at this event; the Carrera 80, the Iberian competition for GTs and Touring cars until 1993; Group 1 Portugal, dedicated to classic cars with Group 1 specifications prior to 1981; the Single Seater Series, the only single-seater competition in Portugal; and the prestigious GT & Sports Car Cup, a British-based competition reserved for Pre-1966 GT cars and Pre-1963 Prototypes that have previously competed in the World Endurance Championship.
Beyond pure competition, the event is a celebration of automotive culture. The "Classic Car Parade," aimed at classic car clubs, on Saturday, and the classic motorcycle parades on Sunday will provide unique moments to appreciate these jewels on wheels up close, in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. These events will also include a Formula V demonstration on Friday.
