Autódromo do Estoril – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners
Where in the world
Every circuit that has hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Marker size shows how many, and green marks the circuits on this year’s calendar.
Autodromo do Estoril, located near Lisbon, Portugal, opened in 1972 and hosted the Portuguese Grand Prix from 1984 to 1996. The 4.360 km layout features a notably long Parabolica final corner that loads the right-rear tyre for almost 18 seconds, among the longest sustained corners in F1 history. Famous for Senna's first F1 victory in the wet 1985 GP and Nigel Mansell's 1986 wheel-and-flame incident.
