#GrandePrémioDePortugal

Due to the huge success of its first edition, the II International Oporto Circuit had generated great expectations. The ACP replied with an even more attractive programme, and re-named the event to "I Grand Prix of Portugal" in 1951. Among the 30 pilots who were participating, 16 were foreign pilots, and this represented great external visibility to the event. This Race was won by a Portuguese pilot, Casimiro Oliveira, driving a Ferrari 340, which he had received only 3 days before the event. The King Umberto of Italy, by that time exiled in Portugal, also attended the Race and the number of spectators about 100.000.

The Portuguese Grand Prix (Grande Prémio de Portugal) was a motorsports event held for several years, mostly in the 1950s and then in the 1980s and 90s. It was a Formula One race between 1958 and 1960 and between 1984 and 1996.
