WTCR RACE OF PORTUGAL 2021 – 26-27/06/2021
Since 1931, when Gaspar Sameiro and Ercilio Barbosa conquered the original 7.150 kilometer circuit in a Ford Model A. Races have been held on Vila Real’s challenging slopes. Safety and financial factors meant that the races were held on an irregular basis until the arrival of the WTCC in 2015 provided stability and Vila Real’s first World Championship-level event. Now in use, the 4.785 kilometer circuit is a challenging mix of fast corners, climbs and descents. While a handful of chicanes have been installed for safety reasons, the spectacle remains unchanged at speeds in excess of 200 km / h on the last descent.

WTCR RACE OF SPAIN 2021 – 09-11/07/2021
MotorLand Aragon, located near Alcaniz in the north-east of the country, was a popular addition to the WTCR schedule when it hosted the first WTCR race in Spain in 2020. Despite the great enthusiasm for the 1965 Circuito Guadalope, growing safety requirements and difficulties in staging high-profile events in 2003 called for the time to race through the streets, leading to the MotorLand Aragon Project. Former Formula 1 driver Pedro de la Rosa worked with circuit designer Hermann Tilke on the route, which was inaugurated in September 2009 and has been hosting the Gran Premio de Aragon de MotoGP since 2010.
