A1GP will become the first international car series to race at the new multi-million dollar complex, in Portimao on 12 April.

Massa, who will be competing in the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend, is one of the few drivers in the world to have sampled the circuit, which was completed last Autumn.

Massa tested his new Ferrari F60 at the 4.69km track earlier this year, and believes that its long and wide straights will provide for some great racing action in A1GP next month.

“It will make a great racing circuit for A1GP,” Massa told A1GP.com. “I did one day of testing there and it was really nice. I think you guys will definitely have a lot of fun there.

“It is a pretty nice, well thought out track. The layout is fantastic.

“You should get lots of overtaking because of the long straights and you should get some good dicing going on. It will be a great circuit for A1GP”.

In addition to the circuit, the project also includes a karting track, a technology park, a five-star hotel, a sports complex and apartments.
