Race weekend at Portimão, with the car at your door
The Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix comes back to the Algarve from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 June 2027, at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão. The circuit opened in 2008 and hosted the Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021; it is known for its elevation changes, sweeping corners and blind crests.
DeluxeDrive is a licensed Portuguese rent-a-car operator based in Almancil, in the central Algarve. For race weekend we deliver luxury SUVs and sports cars to your hotel or villa, to the circuit area or to Faro Airport arrivals, and collect them the same way when you leave. There is no rental desk: the team that prepares the car brings it to you.
Every car hire price on this page is the real daily rate with 23% Portuguese VAT included (the F1 drive below is priced separately, in pounds sterling). Book early: the weekend sells out, and a booking is confirmed once it is paid in full.

Drive a real Formula 1 car at the Grand Prix
From £38,178 incl. VAT
During race weekend you can take the wheel yourself: 15 minutes on track in a 2002 Jordan EJ12 Formula 1 car, in the official GP Historic Demonstration at the Portuguese Grand Prix. It is a genuine Formula 1 car from the 2002 World Championship, and you drive it on the Portimão circuit during the Grand Prix weekend.
No racing experience is needed. The package is designed for every level of driver, from a complete novice to an experienced racer: before the weekend you train one-to-one for four days in the UK, so you arrive at Portimão confident and ready.
DeluxeDrive introduces you to the organiser, who runs the training and the drive, and we deliver your hire car for the weekend. Seats are very limited.
What the package includes
Four-day Grand Prix access
A ticket for every running day of the Grand Prix, Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 June. Come for the whole event or only for your drive day, and watch the car in action, practice, qualifying or the race.
Inner track access
Inner track access from Friday to Sunday.
Food and drink
Breakfast and lunch every day of the Grand Prix, with soft drinks and hot drinks throughout.
Media package
Photos and onboard footage of your training and your drive, and a highlight reel of the experience to share.
Driver development in the UK
Four days of one-to-one training beforehand: car control in a sports car and a single-seater, then sessions in the EJ12 itself. You finish with a certificate of your training, to present to Motorsport UK as evidence that you are ready for the demonstration.
A personal contact
One point of contact through your training and the Grand Prix weekend, and parking for one car on the day of your drive.
