Algarve Classic Festival

The 2016 edition of the Algarve Classic Festival (ACF) features eleven European Classics Championships and will bring to the Algarve the best Historic Racing cars and racers. Saturday and Sunday will be solely dedicated to the eighteen races of the multidisciplinary program. Boasting one of the best circuits in the world and safe and modern facilities for cars and drivers alike, the Algarve Classic Festival presents a very attractive concept for all gentlemen drivers. Add to all of the above the traditional pleasant weather that the Algarve enjoys at a time of the year when the rest of Europe is already experiencing full winter conditions.

The ACF is adding to its dynamic museum an exciting innovation: The Classic Endurance Racing championship, organized by Peter Auto featuring Lola T280, Chevron B31, Lola T70, and Porsche 935, among other vehicles so familiar to the Portuguese public, the same types that used compete in the old World Sports Cars Championship and in the Vila Real Street Circuit.Another unmissable race will bring together more than twenty 1960’s Formula 1 cars in the same grid. The season ending of this popular European championship, organized by the Historic Grand Prix Car Association (HGPCA) is returning to Portugal after several years. The HGPCA F1 Pre-1961 showcases Formula 1 cars from the 1950s and the HGPCA F1 Pre-66 presents Formula 1 cars of the 1960s.
