History
The event was first held in
In
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Portuguese Grand Prix returned as the season finale on an altered calendar in the 2020 MotoGP World Championship. The venue chosen to host the round was the Algarve International Circuit, which has been a reserve circuit since 2017. The race was held with no spectators after a lack of social distancing on the grandstands at the Formula 1 race held one month before.[8][9] In 2021, the originally one-off race was brought back as the third round of the season.[10][11][12] The race was also held in 2022. On 2 August 2022, it was announced that Portuguese Grand Prix would be the season-opener event between 24–26 March.[13]
In the 2024 season, Portugal hosted its first ever MotoE race with the 2024 FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship - making them the eight country to host a MotoE World Championship. Algarve International Circuit was the first track of the 2024 MotoE World Championship. [14]
