Mobilizing last year about one million spectators, the Portuguese round can be once again crucial in the final score for the title. This, in a great year, with the number of pilots grow from 12 to 15 (representing 12 nationalities) and the new rules to make things even more exciting (the fight for the points begins in qualifications).

According to the pilots, this is already one of the most emblematic locations of the circuit -- the Douro becomes these days in an perfect amphitheater.
