CAN PADRÓ
Description Permanent circuit. I don't know whenit was inaugurated. In 1978 a driving school was opened, and it's still active today. I think it was used also for motorbike races and/or tests. Today it hosts also promotional events.

Today (2005) the circuit has the following features:
  • Total area: 55 hectares
  • Paved track, 2500 m - 1.554 mi long (or 2100 - 1.305 mi ?)
  • Pista deslizante, 500 m - 0.311 mi (Sliding track)
  • Off road circuit, 12 km - 7.5 mi long, surely not shown on my map
  • Paved platform, 5000 m² wide
  • Facilities for driving school and for company events, hotel and restaurant included

Besides, it's possible to have some more mixed circuits (asphalt/dirt track)
