The FIA European Touring Car Cup will be taking to the streets in the summer when the northern Portuguese city of Vila Real hosts the action from 10-12 June. Here are a few essential details in 100 words.


A new addition to the ETCC for 2016 and the first street track in the championship’s current guise, this is a circuit full of history and intrigue.


Racing has been held around the hillside roads of Vila Real since 1931, when Gaspar Sameiro and Ercilio Barbosa conquered the original 7.150-kilometre course in a Ford Model A.


Since then races have been run on and off, while the WTCC’s arrival in 2015 signalled Vila Real’s first world championship meeting.


The 4.755-kilometre layout used was a challenging blend of turns, climbs and descents with a handful of chicanes installed for safety reasons.
