Layout

The start-finish straight line runs along the harbour, surrounded by four bleachers and a journalistic area for the podium behind the panel. Two giant screens are set up on the sea-side stand, and many yachts were lined up near the port.

The circuit has 50 turns, of which 13 are on the dirt section and 18 considered as technical turns.

Trivia

• The Porto Corsa circuit is the only one of the three circuits to be in the right direction. Indeed, the Tokyo and London tracks must be flipped in axial symmetry to match the layout visible on the screen.
• The left side of the circuit (turns 28 to 38) is inspired by the Circuit de Monaco.
• Even though Jeff Gorvette and Lewis Hamilton did not got involved in the crash, they have not crossed the finish line (due to getting stuck at the Casino Bridge), which is why they still did not finish the race.
• This is considered to be the most harmful race, because of having almost all of the racers crash.
• The Italian name of the World Grand Prix (Mondiale Grand Prix) can be seen on the edges of the circuit.
