Driving Fast in Portugal | Wandering Portugal

Did you know that you, the tourist, can take laps around the famous Autódromo Internacional do Algarve?

Yep, the road racing course located just outside of Portimão in the Algarve, has free days where you can drive around the track—or get driven in “taxis” by professional drivers. You can also attend driving school.

It’s a similar program to that you’ll find at Nurburgring in Germany.

If you drive your own car, the cost at time of writing is 130€. For 20€ more you can add insurance—not for the car but for you.

The web site for Autódromo Internacional do Algarve has English translations and even an application form in English.

It’s a great opportunity to learn how to drive right—and have some speedy fun, too.
