The Algarve International Circuit is a motor racing track located in Portimão, 10 minutes drive from the villa. It has been used for a number of major events, including Formula One, but has also hosted events for the World Superbike championship, A1 Grand Prix and the FIA GT Championship among others.
After many years absence, Formula One returned to Portugal in 2020 with Lewis Hamilton winning his 92nd Grand Prix, and therefore equalling the record of Michael Schumacher. The race returned in 2021 with Hamilton winning again, beating Max Verstappen.
