Autódromo Internacional Virgílio Távora, motorsport race track in Brazil
The Autódromo Internacional Virgílio Távora is a racing circuit in Eusébio near Fortaleza, measuring about 3 kilometers long with seven named turns. The facility features team pit boxes, seating for up to 5,500 spectators, and a three-story timing tower with spaces for race officials and media personnel.
The circuit opened in 1969 and has hosted numerous competitions across different racing categories since then. A major renovation in 1997 expanded the track to its current length and modernized safety features, enabling even more racing events afterward.
The track is named after Virgílio Távora, a former governor and senator of Ceará. It has become a gathering place for motorsport fans and reflects the region's passion for racing and speed competitions.
You can reach the track by car via Avenida Washington Soares, the BR-116 highway, or CE-040 road leading to Eusébio. The grounds include parking for over 400 vehicles, a restaurant area, stadium seating, and outdoor spaces where visitors can watch the action.
The facility was developed with support from Petrobrás and the local tourism department, and today features three different track layouts for various racing categories. This flexibility allows the course to adapt safety levels and challenges based on the type of event.
