All the drama and excitement of the Le Mans Series comes to Portimão this weekend with the inaugural edition of 1,000kms do Algarve at the region’s new motor park.
The prestigious touring car race, which will also be the first ever to be staged at night in Portugal, is due to start at 7.15pm on Saturday evening and will reach its climax around 1.15am on Sunday morning.
The action on the scorching asphalt will be underscored by Portuguese band The Fingertips from the paddock. The championship, going into its third round of the season here, is currently led by French Pescarolo Sport team mates Jean-Christophe Boullion and Christophe Tinseau, but a further six drivers are placed within five points of the two frontrunners.
