Circuito Estoril
Inaugurado a 18 de Junho de 1972, o Circuito do Estoril teve de esperar até 1982 para se ver incluído no Campeonato FIA F2, o que acabou por, em 1984, abrir as portas do Autódromo do Estoril à “creme de la creme” do automobilismo internacional, o Campeonato do Mundo de Fórmula Um. Um traçado desafiante e atual onde máquinas e pilotos são testados a 30 minutos de Lisboa.
