CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A. announces that the previously imposed restriction on public access to Grandstand A at the Estoril Circuit has been lifted, allowing the facility to be used once again.

 

This decision follows a technical inspection conducted on October 2, 2026, attended by representatives from the Cascais Municipal Civil Protection Service, the Cascais City Council’s Municipal Directorate for Territorial Management and Urban Planning, the Alcabideche Fire Department, and CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A.

The inspection focused on previously identified risk factors, specifically those related to the structure of the Grandstand A roof. Following the complete removal of the roof, the Municipal Civil Protection Service deemed the previously identified risk eliminated and concluded that the restriction should be lifted. Grandstand A will resume operations in compliance with the conditions set by Civil Protection—particularly regarding the reinforcement of emergency and security measures based on spectator capacity, in accordance with applicable laws.

Lifting the restriction allows for the normalization of Grandstand A’s operations, thereby increasing spectator capacity for events held at the Estoril Circuit. CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A. remains committed to the safety of the facilities and their users and will continue to ensure necessary coordination with the relevant authorities.

STATEMENT I – 05/03/2026

CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A. hereby informs that with a view to identifying alternative models for optimizing the management of the sports infrastructure known as “Autódromo Fernanda Pires da Silva” or “Autódromo do Estoril”, a market consultation will shortly be launched, in strict compliance with the applicable legal framework, for granting a surface right over the real state of Circuito Estoril on which the aforementioned infrastructure and its supporting facilities are located.

As several measures are currently underway which are necessary to ensure the proper preparation of the above-mentioned market consultation procedure, it is noted that the documentation establishing the respective terms and conditions will be duly published on the Company’s website, and the consultation will be accessible to any interested party.

In the meantime, the Company will continue to carry out its activities, ensuring, in strict compliance with the applicable legal provisions, the organisation of motorized events at Autódromo do Estoril.

 

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)

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.
