Caramulo Motorfestival, Portugal

[biggles330d]

Has anyone been to this. A buddy and I try to get to a different event each year - we've done Le Mans Classic, Pau Historic GP, Angouleme last year and this year stumbled on this one to explore. It's a bit of a punt as not really sure what to expect. Sadly also a bit far to drive (we usually take turns to take either his Porsche or my Alpine) so we are flying down.

I was curious to see if it was on anyone's radar.

Yup, been looking at this. Also done LM, LM Classic, Angouleme, FoS etc multiple times and looking for something new.

For our group, it is more the journey, food etc as much as the motorsport now so LM and FoS are just too big, expensive etc. Having done Angouleme several times, it is about perfect as a relaxed and manageable event with 400 miles of lovely French roads over a day and a half getting down there. .

Been looking at a ferry to Santander, which would give a 700km road trip there and back in Spain and Portugal with an overnight 20 hr crossing each way. Guessing that Brits will be few and far between there. This would be for next year so any feedback from anyone going this year would be welcome.

It looks very good. One to consider next year.

Agree about Angouleme. First visit last year and it was just such a chilled weekend. Definitely will do it again in a future year. Pau was similar - not too big an event but plenty enough there to fill a couple of days. Lots of local feel about the place to enjoy it as a foodie / travel break and not just an event to be at.

I'll report back from Caramulo in a few weeks time!
