Estoril
Race CircuitPortugal
One of the breed of new modern circuits constructed in the early 1970s, Estoril is located in the hills behind the coastal town of the same name, not far from Lisbon. The once glamorous beach resort — favoured as a place in the sun for deposed monarchs in the period after World War Two — has perhaps seen its grandeur slip in recent years. Today it is perhaps best-known for being the location of Europe's largest casino and thus attracts a slightly different clientele than the rich sun-seekers of old.
