The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve at Portimão hosted the Portuguese Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021 and is best known for its roller-coaster elevation: 4.65 km of blind crests and compressions over the hills behind the Algarve coast, with a plunging final corner onto the main straight.

Portimão hosted the Portuguese Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021 and is not on the 2026 calendar.

Portimão's grandstands are concentrated around the pit straight and the Turn 1 downhill braking zone, which is where the overtaking happens. The circuit's severe gradients mean hillside viewing shows you far more of the lap than the layout suggests. It remains in use for testing, endurance racing and MotoGP.
