The Estoril circuit hosts for the third year consecutively the WSC Grand Prix Portugal. After two periods of improvements the Portuguese track has become the slowest track in the calendar. The high level of humidity and the gusts of winds mean the suspensions have to be soft enough to absorb any bumps. In spite of all this it is considered as the second best organized circuit. Podium 2001 500cc.
