SENHORA DO MONTE / LUBANGO, HUÍLA HUÍLA |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Not to be confused with | Lubango (kart) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The only info I have about this circuit is that it hosted in 1960s and 1970s '3 Horas de Huíla' (Huíla 3 hours), a competition of the Angolan championship. The last event was the one held on August 25th 1974, probably the last one before Independence. I have no more info about this circuit. Gears and speed shown on my map were reported by Helder de Sousa driving a Lola T292-Kasttor.<br /> At least from 2004 Angolan Championship has an event at Lubango - Huíla circuit, but I don't know if the track is this show here or if meanwhile it has been changed.<br /> Lubango kart track was built (I don't know when) inside this circuit |

Circuito da Huíla
Due to technical problems, temporarily it's no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)
