2024 MotoGP World Championship
Round Two – Autódromo Internacional do Algarve
Grande Prémio Tissot de Portugal – Portimao
This is the 19th time Portugal will host a Motorcycle Grand Prix. The first GP on Portuguese soil was in 2000, but the first two Portuguese GPs were actually held in Spain: in Jarama in 1987 and Jerez in 1988. Following an eleven-year break, the event returned to the calendar in 2000 at Estoril, where it was held every year until 2012.
In 2020, MotoGP returned to the country at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimao. It became the 72nd circuit to hold a premier-class Grand Prix and the 29th to hold a MotoGP race since the class was introduced in 2002. This will be the sixth time that Portimao has hosted a GP.
