Formula 1 return to Portimão

Overview

The Algarve International Circuit in Portimão, Portugal, is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar for the 2027 and 2028 seasons. This follows a commitment by Luís Montenegro and an agreement signed in London between Formula 1, the Portuguese government, and circuit administration.

The Portimão venue is expected to replace the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which will exit the calendar after the 2026 season due to financial risks associated with its private funding model.

Economic projections for the Portimão races suggest a significant impact on the Algarve region, with estimates of approximately 200,000 visitors annually. The Portuguese Minister of Economy previously projected an economic impact of at least 140 million euros per year, asserting that tax revenues would exceed state costs.
