On September 13th and 14th… ESBK is back to Estoril.
What is considered one of the most competitive championships today – the Spanish Superbike Championship – is returning to the Estoril Circuit between the 13th and 14th of September.
Internationally recognized as one of the main speed tests in the category, the ESBK promises to liven up the Estoril route with emotions and uncertainty in the results.
Circuito Estoril
The Estoril Circuit hosts four Sprint races on August 28-29 and the Endurance race on Sunday, August 31.
The very special twentieth anniversary season of the Porsche Cup C6 Bank has the most intense and decisive week of the 2025 calendar at the Estoril Circuit. The site of Ayrton Senna’s first F1 victory, at the 1985 Portuguese GP, will host, within 48 hours, the penultimate rounds of the sprint and endurance championships for the category of the most produced racing cars on the planet.
Any driver aspiring to reach Interlagos in the title decider knows that a positive performance this week will be crucial.
The fifth and penultimate round of this year’s Sprint season will feature practice on Wednesday, August 27, and races on Thursday and Friday (August 28-29). There will be a total of ten practice sessions and four races, half of which will be in the Carrera category and the other half in the Challenge category. It’s important to remember that, starting with the penultimate round of the calendar, there will be no change in the starting order for the second races of each category. Therefore, it will be crucial to achieve the best performance in both qualifying sessions to achieve the best chance of achieving maximum points.
The final “checkered” round of the Sprint season is scheduled for 11:40 AM on Friday. After the Sprint stages, it will be time to review and prepare all the cars for the first free practice session of the Endurance stage, scheduled for 1:00 PM on Saturday. The endurance race, with the presence of an enthusiastic public, will have its qualifying session on the morning of Sunday, August 31st, with the 300 km race starting at 2:00 pm.

STATEMENT II – 19/09/2025
As publicly known, a court decision was issued on September 8, 2023, aimed at regulating noise levels resulting from the operation of the Estoril Circuit. This decision has been fully complied with by CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A. (“CE”). Committed to a spirit of continuous improvement in the operating conditions of the Estoril Circuit and its impact on the surrounding area, CE announces that, in early August 2025, it decided to exclude motorcycle track days from the list of events permitted at the circuit. This measure goes beyond the limitations imposed by the aforementioned court decision. Due to their nature, this resolution does not apply to sporting events (races or competitions), including training sessions for such events, as well as professional driver track training not associated with any sporting event.
The Estoril Circuit has always complied, and will continue to comply, with the legal rules regarding noise as well as what is determined in the sentence handed down by the Cascais Court, as can be confirmed in the monitoring reports on the company’s website. (Link)
