Portuguese Grand Prix

The first Portuguese Grand Prix was held on the Boavista street course in Oporto on 14 August 1958, followed in 1959 by a grand prix at Monsanto Park, Lisbon. The last Portuguese Grand Prix was in Estoril on 22 September 1996. Estoril was planned to be the site of the 1997 European Grand Prix, but improvements to the circuit were not finished in time. With the expansion of Formula One outside Europe (and several European races under threat of cancellation), the chances for the return of the Portuguese Grand Prix are very slim.
