Time to head south to the Algarve and spend an enjoyable Easter watching the World Cup of Motorsport (A1GP) at the Algarve Motor Park, near Portimão.

In the World Cup of Motorsport, A1GP, the single-seat cars are deliberately identical so that the skill, experience, and bravery of the drivers and teams are the deciding factor. Drivers compete in teams from countries as diverse as Portugal, USA, Lebanon, France, China and South Africa.
