    I knew this track as Algavre for years. But nonetheless I LOVE this track so much. This is one of the 3 go to track with any car in Assetto Corsa. It is wide, it flows, it has tons of elevation changes and it is just incredibly fun. This track is on my top 3 list with Spa and Suzuka.

    I have been one of those people screaming, SCREAMING, for Portimao to get an F1 event because that is what it was built for and yeah, it has had to wait 12 years, and because of a global pandemic, but this is it's time to shine
    Plus, it's forecast for heavy rain as well during the race so we might just get a little bit of spice to it as well

    I discovered that track because it was one of the free ones on raceroom, and for years I thought it was a track created just for that game like the original Gran Turismo ones. A sper fun rollercoster. Later I learnt that this was really built in the south of portugal and I was mindblown, probably the best modern racetrack we have

      Secondly, the old circuit (80s layout) was a constant understeer nightmare, of course I drove the bog standard cars instead of the race cars but still.
      Finally I like tackling consistent slow corners which why I grew attached to the street circuits in GT4 like Amalfi and Monaco (called Cote d’Azur in-game) also I say consistent cause I hate some slow sections (like bus-stop chicanes) before or during a high-speed section

    tracks like portimao are the reasons why nobody should judge a track based on its 2d layout.
    so many smartasses try to judge a track based on the 2d design whenever a new track comes up ilke the new hanoi f1 track when in reality there is so much more to a track that you have to experience before judging. a 2d layout doesnt tell you elevation changes, it doesnt tell you bumps, it doesnt tell you kerbs.
