Famous for its dramatic elevation changes, blind apexes and flowing high-speed sections, the 4.6-kilometer Portimão circuit features 15 corners that require precision, confidence and consistency. Its rollercoaster-style layout and wide track provide several overtaking opportunities, especially into Turn 1 after the long main straight and under braking for the downhill Turn 5 hairpin. In recent years, the Portuguese venue has established itself as one of Europe’s standout modern circuits and a favorite among drivers and fans alike.

Track action begins on Friday with the Official Collective Test at 10:10, followed by Free Practice 1 at 12:50 and Free Practice 2 at 14:50, allowing drivers and teams valuable time to adapt to the unique demands of the Algarve circuit.

Saturday kicks off with Qualifying 1 at 9:00 before Race 1 gets underway at 11:00. Later in the afternoon, Race 2 will take place at 13:50. Sunday’s schedule starts once again with Qualifying at 9:00, before Race 3 closes out the weekend at 11:00.
