Throughout the weekend, the program features various categories of historic race cars on the track, ranging from Formula 1 and Sports Cars to GT and Touring Cars. This diversity allows spectators to witness different generations and racing philosophies on the same stage.
Between the paddock and the track, the event also offers a rare level of proximity to these machines and the people who keep their history alive. It is this direct contact with the cars, drivers, and teams that gives Estoril Classics a dimension extending beyond the race itself.
The Setting
The choice of the Estoril Circuit is about more than just location. The track is linked to decades of international motorsport and moments etched in the sport’s collective memory, making it a natural setting for a celebration of this kind.
