Portimão circuit prepares for three days of high-speed racing

The Algarve is preparing to welcome back the World Superbike Championship, with the second round of the season set to take place at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimão from March 27 to 29.

According to racetrack’s management, interest in this year’s event is already stronger than in recent editions, with ticket sales expected to surpass previous years as motorsports fans plan their return to the track.

The race weekend will feature four categories: Superbike, Supersport, Sportbike and WCR. Particular attention will fall on the Superbike class, where Portuguese rider Miguel Oliveira, formerly a MotoGP competitor, is set to compete.

The event will also mark the debut of the Sportbike category at the circuit. Across Saturday and Sunday, a total of nine races are scheduled, promising a busy programme and the high-energy atmosphere the championship is known for.

One of the highlights for visitors is the open paddock, which allows fans to get closer to the teams and riders, with entertainment running throughout the weekend and podium ceremonies.

“Superbike has a very special atmosphere and a unique closeness with the fans. All the entertainment is centred in the paddock and, together with the championship organiser, we will once again create moments and activities for the whole family, because SBK really is a celebration of motorcycling for everyone,” said Miguel Praia, administrator of the Algarve International Circuit.

Tickets are available through the Algarve International Circuit website, with prices starting at €32.50.
