Estoril Classics: Timetable Announced and Tickets Now on Sale

The Estoril Classics returns to the Autódromo do Estoril on 18, 19 and 20 September 2026 for its 10th edition, with the official timetable now confirmed. Over three days, the Portuguese circuit will once again welcome some of the most important historic racing series, celebrating motorsport heritage through a diverse field of machinery and the close interaction between spectators and the drivers.

This year's event sees the return of Endurance Racing Legends to Estoril, one of the highlights of the Peter Auto series programme. The category brings together some of the most spectacular GT cars from the 1990s and 2000s, including the Maserati MC12 GT1, Chrysler Viper GTS-R, Porsche 993 GT2, Porsche 997 GT3 RSR and Ferrari F430 GTC. Its return to the Estoril Classics is particularly eagerly anticipated by fans following its absence from the event in recent years.

Friday, 18 September, will see the circuit come alive with a full day of practice and qualifying sessions. Classic GP, reserved for pre-1986 Formula 1 cars, will make its first appearance on track between 10:35 and 11:00, ahead of qualifying at 15:20. Endurance Racing Legends 1, for LMP and GT1 cars, will have two qualifying sessions at 12:00 and 15:50, while Endurance Racing Legends 2, featuring GT2 machinery, will take to the track for its sessions at 12:50 and 16:40.

Saturday, 19 September, will be the first major day of racing. Endurance Racing Legends 1 will get the headline competition underway, with the first race for the LMP and GT1 cars scheduled for 13:45. Shortly afterwards, at 15:40, Classic GP will bring the historic Formula 1 cars onto the track for their opening race of the weekend. Endurance Racing Legends 2 will then contest its first race at 16:20, with the GT2 cars completing the category's line-up.

But Saturday's programme extends well beyond these three grids. Spectators will also be able to enjoy the Gentlemen Challenge, Classic Endurance Racing, Heritage Touring Cup, Iberian Historic Endurance, Sixties' Endurance and 2.0L Cup, in a packed schedule running into the evening. The Sixties' Endurance race is scheduled from 17:20 to 19:20, with the 2.0L Cup bringing the day's competitive action to a close from 19:20 to 21:00.

On Sunday, 20 September, the action continues from the morning onwards. Endurance Racing Legends 1 will contest its second race at 10:30, before Classic GP returns to the track at 14:00 for its second race of the weekend. Endurance Racing Legends 2 will then hold its second race at 14:40, followed by further races for Classic Endurance Racing, the Gentlemen Challenge, the Heritage Touring Cup and Race Ready-run Iberian Historic Endurance, which brings the competitive programme to a close at 16:55.

Beyond the on-track action, the Estoril Classics gives spectators the opportunity to get up close to the cars and teams in the Paddock, preserving one of the event's defining features: the close interaction between fans and the machines that have played a part in motorsport history.

Paddock tickets, which have sold out for the past six editions, are now on sale through BoL, Worten and Fnac. Day tickets are available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as well as a three-day pass, with all options providing access to the Paddock and the main straight grandstand.

Tickets are required from the age of 16, while children and young people aged 15 and under can enter free of charge when accompanied by an adult, with a limit of two children or young people per adult. Parking in the gravel car park will be free of charge, subject to availability, while access to the main straight grandstand will be free for all spectators.

With a programme offering a journey through different eras of motorsport and featuring the return of categories such as Endurance Racing Legends, the Estoril Classics is set for three days of racing and a celebration of automotive history.

From 18 to 20 September, spectators will have a range of options for experiencing the event, both trackside and in the Paddock.
