Is there anything better than watching Grand Prix motorcycle racing or Superbikes, with the delicious Algarve sun warming your back?

Throw in the Algarve Classic Festival - the biggest classic car event in the Iberian Peninsula - and you have the best motorsport experience in southern Europe.

And you don’t have to sit and watch. How about racing karts on the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve – the ‘Portimão’? A car or bike track day on the same iconic circuit? Or a super-safe learning experience behind the wheel of your dream car at a world-class racing school?

Let’s start where the real action is: MotoGP

When you feel the need for speed, nothing beats a Moto Grand Prix in the Algarve, where you can smell the high-octane air and watch the white-hot cauldron of competition bubble and boil in the sunshine!

This is the pinnacle of two-wheeled competition: the Formula 1 of bike racing. The 1000cc super-machines reach speeds of up to 215mph on a real ‘old-school’ track, complete with dramatic changes in direction, thrilling turns and a breath-taking 1km straight.

Wherever you sit for this rubber-shredding action, it’s going to be an experience. And if you’re in the mood for pampering, VIP options abound.

Enjoy in-paddock hospitality with MotoGP teams, with seats in the VIP Tower and gourmet lunches... then dip behind the scenes to meet the riders and see where the magic happens. Short of joining the race, there’s no better way to feel part of the action.

Or maybe you prefer Superbikes?

The FIM Superbike World Championship is a close cousin of MotoGP. In both events, bikes share a 1,000cc capacity limit and riders tear round the same roller-coaster track at Portimão, with its changes of direction, blind corners and undulations that seem like ramps. But the Superbikes are based on production models - so if you ride a high-capacity bike yourself, maybe you can identify more with the action.

But whichever you prefer, we’re talking high-stakes, blood-curdling competition. Unmissable for any speed demon or biking enthusiast.

And if cars are more your thing?

Don’t miss the Algarve Classic Festival

Held each year in joyous late-autumn sunshine (when the rest of Europe is starting to shiver) this hugely popular event celebrates the beauty and enduring elegance of the world’s most loved classic cars.

You’ll see Alfa Romeo Alfettas, Vanwall VW5s and Mercedes W196s leaping forward 70 years onto Portimão’s space-age stage. Not to mention Ferrari GTOs, E-Type Jags, Morgans and Austin Healys… all of them bidding for glory in 11 Classic Championships.

With 300 teams and 500 of the world’s most talented drivers, every race is a titanic battle. Keep a special eye out for the Historic Touring Car Challenge… the Pre-1975 Algarve Sports Cars… the Pre-63 GT.. Super Seven… Formula Ford Portugal… the action never stops.

Of course, if you really want to get the adrenaline coursing through your veins, you might prefer to get behind the wheel. So…

Let’s go karting

Opened in 2010, the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve (KIA) is one of Europe’s most spectacular go-kart facilities – famed for its 1,531-metre track and a 160-metre main straight.

With an abundance of championship races and private competitions – all in the glorious local sunshine – this is a dream destination for serious petrol-heads!

Alternatively, head down to Albufeira Marina for 400 metres of tyre-burning fun on fast and furious karts of up to 200cc. (Who knows, maybe you’ll get your name on the monthly Wall of Fame?)

When you’re done, soak up some sun, charter a boat, dive, dolphin-watch, or just walk the waterfront promenade.

Now let’s take this off-road

Get ready for 22 right-hand turns… 23 left turns… 45 corners…over 3 courses with a 5,180 metre perimeter.

Those are the numbers! But they don’t do justice to the off-road track at the Algarve Motorsports Park. It’s an all-terrain affair that brings together all variants of motorsport and motorcycling: speed, off-road and rallying.

Pick from two off-road tracks with perimeters of 2,690 and 1,370 metres – or choose the enduro/cycle track with a perimeter of 1,120 metres. You’ll navigate rough terrain, streams and artificial obstacles…so if it starts to feel like a tough day on Mariokart, don’t be surprised!

If you’re after something more leisurely, maybe you’d prefer a buggy ride? A three-hour adventure tour takes you across a variety of terrain, from the ancient Paderne Castle to dirt tracks accessible only by quadbikes.

Or if you’re a biker at heart…?

The Algarve is a mix of twisting coastal roads, dusty climbs and staggering landscapes. So whether you join an organised biking tour or set out on your own, it’s an invitation to set your spirit free.

Consider the five-hour round trip from Luz, taking in the southern Algarve coast with epic climbs including the ascent of Monchique – followed by the golden sands of the western Atlantic beaches.

Alternatively, follow the curve of the Guadiana River as it snakes its way to the Mediterranean from the gorgeous village of Mértola. Lap up the tranquillity of the Serra do Caldeirao’s natural amphitheatre.

Then there’s the N397 from Palheirinhos. Beginning in Tavira, the ‘Venice of the Algarve’, it snakes its way to the 527-metre summit of Alcaria do Cume with its 36-degree views.

Or for pure biking heaven, ride the N266 from Nave Redonda to Porto de Lagos - a 36km glide of 100 sweeping corners. Most of it, traffic free!

And if you’d rather make tracks…

For track days, there’s only one destination: Portimão circuit, home of the Moto Grand Prix, Superbikes and even the 2020 F1 Portuguese Grand Prix.

This is one of the highest-spec facilities in Europe, with great safety features and a roller-coaster layout. Pick from bikes or supercars and negotiate the swerving right and left-handers in one fast flowing tarmacadam river.

It’s a happy sweep of tricky cambers and blind crests that create a highly physical and demanding circuit.

You can even join the racing school and get behind the wheel of your dream car. Pick a track and savour every corner, crest, dip and hairpin as you hang on the words of an expert AIA racing instructor.

Enough revving…let’s go!

Whatever your level of skill (or trepidation!), cast off the shackles of doubt and get behind the wheel. It’s time to feel the sun on your back and the adrenaline in your veins. Or just sit back and soak up the action, while the racers go full throttle.

For members of The Kingsman Circle, it couldn’t be easier. Give us a call and we'll put together your perfect itinerary - whether you’re taking part, watching the action, or both.
