STATEMENT

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)

CE further announces that, following the decision of April 24, 2025, to close Stand A, there is currently no anticipated date for the reopening of this infrastructure.

The Estoril Circuit IV marks the end of the 2025 National Speed ​​Championship this weekend, with several titles still to be decided.

The 2025 National Speed ​​Championship will conclude this weekend, October 25th and 26th, with private training sessions scheduled for this Friday, with the Estoril Circuit’s fourth visit of the season. With some titles already decided since the previous round, the crowns of several classes remain to be awarded, on a weekend where unstable weather could also be decisive in some of these battles.

In the premier class, SBK, Sheridan Morais (Ducati) is already champion, with Ricardo Lopes (Honda) on track to secure second place, as his RL58 Racing School teammate, Daniel Coelho, is injured and will not be present. In the Superstock 600, Martim Jesus (Honda) has led from the start, but has a 22-point lead over Vítor Silva (Yamaha), so nothing is decided. In the Supersport 300, the champion is already known, Vasco Camoesas (Kawasaki), leaving the battle for second place open between Rodrigo Asensio and Martim Garcia, separated by 24 points. Also in the Pre-Moto, we already have champion Afonso Almeida (Honda), motivated by his recent selection for the Red Bull Rookies Cup, while Alexandre Cabá and Celestin Masy are tied for second place in the standings. In Moto5, Tomás Santos has a 31-point lead over Tomás Canarias, meaning he can become Champion in Saturday’s race if he gains at least 6 points on his rival.

In the Naked Bikes 1 National Championship, Luís Franco holds the points lead, but he’ll have to keep an eye on Ricardo Almeida (23 points behind), Luís Ferreira (28 points behind), and the returning Duarte Amaral (30 points behind). All of them could still be champions – and if they don’t, they’ll be battling it out for runner-up, with only 7 points separating them. In the Naked Bikes 2 class, Frédèric Bottoglieri is already champion, and Marcos Leal should easily secure runner-up. In the Naked Bikes Championship, the overall winner’s trophy is still up for grabs, with Bottoglieri narrowly leading the remaining four contenders on his NB2 Triumph over the other four contenders, all of whom are on NB1 motorcycles.

Finally, in the Dunlop Motoval Cup, Wagner Pederneira has dominated the CDM1 class, with 34 points ahead of Tiago Pires, and could celebrate as early as Saturday. In the CDM2 class, Ricardo Rodrigues must keep an eye on Vasco Silva but also on Dany Soares, winner of the last two races, who are 28 and 41 points behind the leader, respectively, and who could also end the season with the number 1 on the first day of racing.

Admission is free to Grandstand B, and paddock tickets (€10 for both days) can be purchased at the MCE ticket office.
