Information

General info

The Estoril circuit is a car and motorcycle racing circuit in Portugal, located in the freguesia of Alcabideche in the municipality of Cascais. The circuit was built in 1972, on a plateau in the freguesia of Alcabideche about 9 km from Estoril, on the initiative of entrepreneur Fernanda Pires da Silva, who, together with Brazilian architect Ayrton Lolô Cornelsen, conceived the Estoril track and gave it its name, fighting against everything and everyone to erect it, in 1972, on the land purchased from her friend Lúcio Tomé Feteira. The racetrack was the largest circuit in Portugal until the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve was built in 2008. The track measures 4.36 kilometers and has 13 turns.

Panigale V4 R: A Legacy of Victory

The latest chapter in a lineage born in 2001, the Panigale V4 R brings the very finest of Borgo Panigale engineering to the track. It embodies the philosophy that has always defined Ducati: pushing technology to its limits at the highest level of racing, then transferring it to the motorcycles built for Ducatisti. This story of success began in 1990 with Ducati's first WorldSBK Riders' title and continues today with the Panigale V4 R, which has claimed the Manufacturers' title every year since 2022. In 2026, the new generation carried the torch forward, winning every one of the 30 races held so far and sealing a fifth consecutive crown
Panigale V4 R

A jewel of engineering and performance.
