i have just got back from the Algarve and i have to say what a circuit.
The facilities will be awesome when finished completely.
There was however nowere near 25,000 people there, i would of said probably 5-10 at the most, it was fairly dead.
The main reason is the poor state of the economy over there, people are paid very poorly and 25-35 euros for tickets for the average worker is a lot of cash.
The total lack of support races was also a concern, watching a ferrari road car being driven round the track as a substitute race was poor. This is down to the total lack of "circuit" racing infrastructure at the moment in Portugal, hopefully this will change now there is another major circuit, lets hope so because the portuguese are keen.
