Algarve Motorsports Park is the complex that is the home of Autódromo Internacional do Algarve as well as of Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve and other motosport facilites that provide all the conditions for unique driving experiences. Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (AIA) was born in November 2nd, 2008. The circuit’s inaugural race was the final round of the Superbike World Championship. The project’s underlying philosophy was to create a group of facilities that are closely related enough to be mutually beneficial. Thus, all aspects of the complex are concentrated in the same physical space: racing track, go-kart track, off-road park, hotel, apartment complex, technology park and sports complex. It was designed to provide all the necessary facilities to the various sectors of the motorsport industry, from manufacturers to racing teams in order to test, develop, present and launch their products.

Consultoria de marcas com visão integrada nas seguintes áreas: BRAND STRATEGY, BRAND DESIGN, DIGITAL BRAND, BRAND ACTION E BRAND ADVERTISING. Não somos uma agência. A Brandia Central é uma empresa líder em Portugal com mais de 20 anos de experiência. LIVRO FIGHTGRAVITY http://www.facebook.com/fightgravitybook É o critério de exigência interna da Brandia Central. É o nosso contributo para a evolução das ideias e do pensamento humano. É uma postura de luta para que as marcas não caiam nos lugares-comuns, nas ideias feitas, na mediania, no “tá bom assim”. É assumir riscos. É não ser cobarde. E tanto serve para criar marcas, como (se quiser) para filosofia de vida. Os conceitos que mudaram radicalmente o pensamento humano nos últimos 200 mil anos.
