A second 24 hour endurance race of the season, run through the night at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve.
Hosted by
Autódromo Internacional do Algarve
The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve hosts its second 24 hour race of the season with the 24 Horas CRM, a round of the Seven SS600 Endurance series that pushes drivers, teams and cars through a full day and night of uninterrupted racing.
Over 24 hours, reliability and pit strategy matter as much as outright pace, and the changing conditions from Friday afternoon through to Saturday's finish make for a very different watch to a standard sprint race. Spectators can follow the action from the paddock for the whole weekend.
A weekend paddock pass is on sale from 18 September at the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve.

A necropolis of 5,000 year old monumental tombs in farmland behind Alvor, with a walk-in burial mound at its heart. Alcalar was the ceremonial centre of a Copper Age community that farmed this corner of the Algarve, and restored Monument 7 is the showpiece: a stone mound with a low passage leading to a corbelled chamber, engineering from around 3000 BC that you can peer into from the entrance corridor. Several more tombs lie around it in various states of excavation, and a small interpretation centre sets the scene. Few people come, so you will likely share the site only with larks and the wind. It is signposted from Mexilhoeira Grande off the N125; combine it with lunch in Alvor or Figueira.
A blue green reservoir folded into the hills north of Lagos, with dam-top views, quiet trails and not a beach bar in sight. Twenty minutes from the coast, the Bravura dam holds a lake that winds between eucalyptus and cork slopes, and almost nobody makes the detour. Cross the dam wall for the classic view down the valley, then pick up the dirt tracks along the shore for an hour of walking with only goat bells for company. Water levels swing with the rains, so the shoreline can look dramatic in dry years. There is no café and no lifeguard, which is precisely why it stays calm. Drive up via Odiáxere, take a picnic, and save the viewpoint by the dam gates for golden hour.
A tiny spa hamlet in a wooded mountain valley, taking the waters since Roman times and shady in the fiercest August. Caldas de Monchique gathers around a sloping square where the buildings are pastel, the tree canopy is deep and the only sounds are birdsong and running water. People have come for the springs for some two thousand years; King João II arrived in 1495 hoping the waters would cure him. Above the square, the thermal park climbs the stream in a series of pools, bridges and follies, and paths continue up into the eucalyptus and cork woods. It is the Algarve at its most unhurried. Park in the lay-by on the main road and walk down into the hamlet; mornings smell of wood smoke and wet leaves.
