The Algarve circuit will be the stage, between August 9th and 11th, 2024, for the seventh of the 12 races of the championship, which starts at Phillip Island, in Australia, on February 23rd, and ends at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit, in Spain, on October 13th.
The Portimão race track hosted the penultimate stage of the 2023 World Cup earlier this month and will return to the competition calendar next year, which includes two new tracks: Balaton Park, in Hungary, and Cremona, in Italy, both still pending completion.
All I can say is I hope things are arranged better than 2023! Very very disappointing for a world championship event.
Commentary was awful and didn't start until well into the first lap or more.
Music playing over many commentaries.
No screens to help to know what was happening around the track where we were, suspect screens nowhere else either except start/finish straight. Some seating areas not open.
We only knew race had finished when the Marshalls went to edge of the track to congratulate the riders. Contacted WSB who seem to want to pass the blame back to the circuit. Haven't decided if it's worth going or not in 2024 and beyond which is a shame.
