You can check the official website, it's a bit tricky because it's in portugese, but they have nice pictures:

Ehehehe, I was there:
Much, much better track than the Boavista one in Oporto (then again, I might be biased, but that was the generel feeling after the return to the racing at Vila Real). However, for the time being, no WTCC (fortunately, I much rather see there the local races, than the FIA/KSO Empire around there destroying the track). |

I like it, especially this part of the circuit:

BTW: IMHO, really bad choice of words for the topic title... it seems that there are people doing street racing there (well, it's not the Vasco da Gama bridge in Lisbon... ) |

Vila Real could have an ETCS (an Italian endurance series) race in 2008. Last edited by E46; 3 Nov 2007 at 23:01. |

A proper track, instead of that pile of s**** at Oporto
BTW: 2 videos from the BMW 320iS Trophy (yes, they sold the 320iS in Italy AND Portugal), in the old track: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Yo7xyzjcZw http://youtube.com/watch?v=nS1GlebANgY |

Too narrow, no places for overtaking... But it suits great those WTCC boring fests |
