Ideal and cheap, is flying with Ryanair to Faro.

Faro is 70 km or 45' away from the circuit.

Ryanair

The most simple solution is to fly with Ryanair to Faro, and during the online booking procedure, take an option on a rental car.

Portugal is the cheapest European country when it comes to rental cars (from 11 € / day).

We usually book a car from Europcar (they have also an office on the seafront @ Portimao).

Download waiver of liability

We will not verify this, it 's only for your own comfort / safety, especially in Spain and Portugal.

VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to have your "European Health Insurance Card" (EHIC) with you. By showing this card, people know - in the domain of health (and injury) insurance - that you're completely covered in your own country and that every other country, that is a member of the European Union, has to give you all the needed care.If you haven't obtained your card from your health care insurance, than :

• apply for a card immediately;
• if you cannot receive it in time, ask them to e-mail to you a "Provisional replacement certificate for the European Health Insurance Card" (= 1 page, and this can be done immediately);

A list of "Dangerous sports" that are excluded from "urgent medical care abroad". Usually, "racing with car / motorcycle / outboard engines" is listed. But as we do not "race", our activity is not excluded from any treatment. Check if this is also the case with your insurance, and if it is not, just be sure to get an insurance yourself.

EYBIS has not only a very good insurance as an organiser, but insures also - on every event - all participants with a good TPL (= third partie liability) insurance.

If you have a racing license from your national motorcycle council, be sure to bring it with you.

Liability insurance
=
Included!

At EYBIS, a third party liability insurance has been included for years in your participation fee.

Some race tracks require a license. The only reason is that such a license always comprises a liability insurance.

Since we provide to all of our participants such a liability insurance, included in the price, a license will not be required by us and yet, you will have fully met the requirements.
