CHAT BOX

We have created a second Whatsapp Group - which we call from now on the "CHAT BOX" - in which all participants can post.

This group is mainly intended to ask each other questions (and give each other answers) about a spare part you need, a certain INFO that you cannot find on the website (even if it is indeed there ;-), etc.

People who abuse this group or make inappropriate posts will be removed and blocked.
If the group would be massively abused and miss its target, the group will be deactivated by the organisation.

There will be no official information or communication posted in this Group.

The organisation is not a member of this groupo and will therefore not answer any questions.

It is not necessary to join this group, but it can be fun and sometimes even useful. You can leave this group at all times.

At the beach you will find several cafes and clubs where the party starts in the evening.

Estoril is also an ideal holiday destination for those who love golf.
There are beautiful golf courses and special golf hotels.

PORTIMAO

Portimao is a port city, located at the mouth of the Rio Arade.
The fish industry is an important source of income in this city.

The new port of Portimao

On the other side of the new port of Portimao lies Ferragudo.

Ferragudo

In addition, Portimao is also an important trading town, and the large beach of Praia da Rocha is an important attraction.

Praia da Rocha

Navigating the old trade route via the Rio Arade to Silves is another tourist attraction.

In 2017 we went on tour with this fantastic boat

Castle | Silves

Near Portimao, 6 km away, is Alvor, a picturesque village with a beach within walking distance.

Alvor

At 35 km - east of Portimao - lies Albufeira, which has become one of the most important and busiest tourist resorts in Portugal.

Another pearl in the Portuguese Algarve is the port city of Lagos, located 25 km west of Portimao.

Circuit | Portimao

The Portimao circuit was first used for the World SBK competition in October 2008.

A year later - in 2009 - we organized the first EYBIS event over there.
Since then, we 've returned every year.

Rea won both World SBK races in the Algarve in 2017

In 2020 - the famous "Corona year" - both Formula 1 and MotoGP came to the fantastic Portimao circuit for the first time.

Portuguese hero Miguel Oliveira took pole position with a scorching 1.38,892.
This was also the fastest time ever driven over there with a two-wheeler.

The day after, he also won the race with great dominance.

Download waiver of liability

We will not verify this, it 's only for your own comfort / safety, especially in Spain and Portugal.

VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :

• apply for a card immediately;
• if you cannot receive it in time, ask them to e-mail to you a "Provisional replacement certificate for the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.

EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.

If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.
