Fastest per sector: 2018–2026

Median gap to the fastest rider in each sector within each session, across all seasons at this circuit; active riders only. The name on the layout is the sector leader. Sector split points on the map are approximate.

Elevation change: 23 m (from 100 to 123 m above sea level).

Relief exaggerated 4 times so it can be seen. Elevation from the Copernicus terrain model (5 to 10 m accuracy). On circuits with very sharp crests and dips, such as Portimão, the model smooths the relief and the real elevation change can be much larger. Drag to rotate.

A track for grid position, or an open one?

POR

An open track: the grid decides less here and there are more comebacks.

Grid ↔ result

When two teammates disagree between pace and grid, pace wins 100% of the time (between 21% and 100%; 1 cases).

Descriptive, over 6 races (2020–2025). 100 = the track where the grid matters most; 0 = the most open. Within a team, practice pace tells who will finish ahead 7 times in 10, but when the faster teammate qualifies behind, they finish behind 6 times in 10: grid position weighs more than pace.
