It all respects to Monza fans, actual Monza is not a better circuit than Algarve... i agree if you talked about the 70's/80's Monza but this one... (side note: Put the bankings working again please!)Besides that, Algarve is according to several pilots from different categories (single seaters, F1, GT's, LMP's, Touring Cars) one of the most demanding and spectacular circuit, a mix of today's security paranoia with the old way (pre-Tilke) of designing racing circuits. They surely loved that circuit as i could ear on LMS Paddock in Algarve. It as a spectacular carroussel (it's nor Spa or Nordscheiffe but it sure does look so)...

..besides that, and even the first LMS race on it had some organization issues to be aware of, there is a 3 years deal signed and compromised with LMEO and it wont leave the LMS schedule in the next two years.
