12 Hours of Estoril
26 September 2020

Circuito do Estoril
Located not far from the Portuguese capital Lisbon, the Estoril circuit was opened in 1972. Among the first high-profile international championships to be held here were the FIA car racing series: Formula Two and later Formula One. Following substantial renovation work, the circuit hosted a MotoGP race for the first time in 2000.
The FIM Endurance World Championship visited the circuit in 1987 for the Estoril 1000 km, and in 2000 for the 8 Hours of Estoril.
4,182 km in length, Estoril is regarded as a very technical track, with 13 corners including two hairpins, a 985-m straight and quite significant elevation change.
