ABOUT

The championship is based on the Turismo series regulations (Gr.1), extremely well suceeded specialy between 1970 and 1981. Today, like it was in the past, the big difficulty was to find homologated and originals parts for some models. Because of that, the tecnical regulation allows to work around this difficulty without raising costs.

To decrease the costs, the regulation was planned so that it was possible that cars with prices between 3.000€ and 30.000€ could participate. For more informations about the cars allowed, associated costs and how you can start racing with us, please find the contacts below the page.

The annual participation costs are about 10.000€ per team - 5.000€ per driver, when it's divided between two drivers.

We only have 5 events in Portugal per year, to minimize the costs and so that the teams are able to dispute the entire championship. Each Sprint event has two races of 25 minutes, like Braga Festival of Speed and Estoril GT Open. Then we have the endurance events like Vila Real and Algarve Classic festival, with two races of 40 minutes, and the 250km Estoril event with one race of 120 minutes.
