Estoril (urbano)
Description On October 20th 1935 it hosted 2nd Circuito do Estoril (car racing). No more motorbikes races were held until 1937.
Track layout was quite similar to the 1937 one: start/finish line was in the same position in Avenida Amaral. It seems it used Avenida dos Bombeiros Voluntarios instead of Avenida de Nice and Avenida de Portugal; moreover final section was slighly different.

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!)

See this track layout with Google Earth - milermeter.com

(Map shown here above can show at the same time all eventual layouts drawn. If you want to see only some of them, please go to Google Maps or Google Earth, by clicking on its own link)
