About Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve

Part of the Algarve Motorsports Park near Portimão in southern Portugal, opened in 2010 alongside the F1-grade autodrome that hosts MotoGP and World Superbikes. The kart circuit is one of the largest in Europe at 1,532m, with 17 corners and a fast main straight where the quickest karts touch 160km/h.

It has held the FIA Karting World Championship more than once, for OK and OK-Junior in 2020 and for the KZ shifter class in 2024, plus European Championship rounds in 2016 and 2022. The complex has a five-star hotel and hospitality suites, so it works as a destination weekend as much as a race venue. The lap record stands to Ben Hanley at 56.1 seconds.

Tips for New Drivers

The Algarve climate is kind for most of the year, which is why teams come here to test through the winter. The long straight and fast corners mean entry speed is everything, so don't throw away the lap with a scruffy exit onto the straight. Double karts take passengers from age 4, so younger family members can ride along. With the hotel and the big autodrome next door, it's an easy place to build a proper trip around.
