Superbikes return to Portimão racetrack

The first round of the Superbike World Championship European series will take place on March 28, 29, and 30.

The Superbike World Championship returns to the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (AIA) between March 28 and 30. The programme will feature nine races for the first European stage of the year, but much more is in store for a weekend anticipated to be highlighted by a significant turnout of motorcycling enthusiasts.

In addition to the races, there will once again be great entertainment in the paddock with the usual Paddock Show, where the drivers will be present daily. There will also be a DJ in the food area next to the AIA pool.

Thrill seekers will also be able to discover the demands of the circuit at high speed with the “Hot Lap” events, which will take place over the weekend. 

If adrenaline is not essential, the “tourist train” will also be available for a more relaxed journey through the circuit’s 15 curves.

The schedule for the second stage of the World Superbike Championship includes two open pit lane sessions for fans on Saturday and Sunday, March 29 and 30. Furthermore, a bike parade will wrap up the day, allowing motorcyclists to complete a lap of the circuit on their bikes in a controlled and safe environment.

Tickets start at €25 and can be found on the official website.
