Portimao 1st November

**Fizzy** · 10-07-18, 18:58

Olá meus amigos,

Myself and SP are going to Portimao on the 1st November, 4 days on track @ £499 with Focused Events. Bike transport and 4 star hotel included.

The flights we booked are £220 each leaving Wed 31st Oct home on the last track day Sunday 4th Nov.

In anticipation of the usual...

Yes I know it works out a lot per day... But its warmer, it's 4 days so you really get to know the track, it's a holiday, it's Portimao, it's better than Silverstone and by the time you factor in getting to Silverstone, and staying at a crappy Travelodge, it's not that bad value. As a bonus if you leave it till next year you may find your Euros are more expensive, you need full medical insurance, and you have to pay for a visa

Jealous!

Seriously jealous - only my favourite track so far

Its my favourite so far as well, but I haven't done as many as everyone else. I know there was talk of a TRC euro extravaganza, I'll consider this a recon mission.

I've only done Cartegna and Jerez otherwise. Jerez is amazing and fast, Cartegena is brilliant and curly (bit like a Mallory on steroids!) - but Portimao has the best of both! Love the blind exits and the way the track drops away from you at one point - the only way I can wheelie! LOL

So consider the way the track drops away from you, especially the fast 3 story drop right turn onto the pit lane straight, and consider that last time I rode it my right peg was held on with a lidl zip tie

it held... so lidl rocks
