Estoril Exclusive Test

Experience a journey through time and speed at the Estoril Exclusive Test

Race Ready invites you to witness a unique convergence of past and present at the Estoril Exclusive Test, taking place on the 5th and 6th of April at the Estoril Circuit. This marks the sixth edition of the event, where collectors and teams gather an array of the world's most coveted cars. Formula 1 classics share the stage with modern GT4 and TCR models, creating a spectacle of private test sessions rather than a race. Each year, historic Formula 1 cars grace Portugal alongside classic GTs and Sportscars. The second day introduces the latest generation of GT and Touring cars from the Iberian Peninsula.

As an enthusiast privileged to witness Ayrton Senna's first victory at Estoril, I can attest that it is an extraordinary event. This year, I am eager to return and immerse myself in the thrill of high-performance automotive excellence.

In an exclusive format, the program runs from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, featuring a maximum of ten Formula 1 or Sportscar cars per session and up to twenty Grand Touring and Touring cars, some true gems of the competitive automotive industry. Previous editions showcased rare vehicles like the Lotus 23 ex-Emilio Marta, Peugeot 908 ex-Pedro Lamy, Alfa Romeo 156 ex-Gabriele Tarquini, and the Ford RS200 ex-Joaquim Moutinho, among other four-wheeled treasures.

For the first time, this year's Estoril Exclusive Test will exhibit vehicles from the latest generation. On April 6th, the Cascais circuit will host the official Test Day for the upcoming season of the Iberian Supercars, Campeonato de Portugal de Velocidade, and Supercars España. Modern GT and Touring cars that will grace the starting grids of these championships will hit the track, gearing up for the exciting season ahead.

Due to the exclusivity of the event and to maintain focus on the testing drivers and teams, only 50 tickets will be available for Saturday, April 6th, granting access to the Paddock. This limited number ensures an intimate encounter for enthusiasts with these machines and pilots, and historically, these tickets sell out in less than seven days.

Ticket sales are exclusively online on the Race Ready website, available until the Thursday before the event, April 4th, or until sold out. Don't miss the chance to witness the convergence of automotive history and the future at the Estoril Exclusive Test.
