Autódromo Fernanda Pires da Silva - Estoril - WTCC

 Formula One, car racing track, motorcycle racing track

The Estoril circuit, a 4.36 km (2.709 miles) race course in Portugal, was home of the Formula One Portuguese Grand Prix from 1984 to 1996. It was built in 1972 on a rocky plateau not far from Estoril, Portugal, the beach resort lending its name to the circuit. The course has two hairpin turns, noticeable elevation changes, and a long start/finish straight. Its first years saw many club races, as well as an occasional Formula 2 race.

Estoril became a popular event on the F1 calendar, the setting for many well-known moments: The world championship decider between Alain Prost and Niki Lauda in 1984, Ayrton Senna's first win the following year, Jacques Villeneuve overtaking Michael Schumacher around the outside in 1996, and Riccardo Patrese being momentarily launched onto two wheels after colliding with Gerhard Berger on the main straight in 1992. Many Formula One teams were fond of using Estoril for winter testing, due to the warm weather.

Estoril was dropped from the F1 calendar for the 1997 season, though it continued to play host to top-level single-seater, sports car, Dallara World Series and touring car events, including the FIA GT Championship, the DTM and the World Series by Renault. On October 23, 2005, the Autódromo do Estoril hosted the third round of the A1 Grand Prix racing season.
