The Caramulo Motorfestival, the largest motoring festival in Portugal, attracted over 60.000 people to the Caramulo Mountains to marvel at the beauty of over two thousand cars, motorcycles and aeroplanes, and with the adrenaline of motorsport at the Castrol Historic Hillclimb, which this year broke its participation record, with over 180 cars throughout the three days of the event.

The Caramulo Motorfestival brought to its stages a stellar line-up of guest drivers, highlighting the presence of Tiago Monteiro and his son Noah, Pedro Matos Chaves, Pedro Salvador, Rui Madeira, Nuno Rodrigues da Silva, Carlos Tavares, Hugo Lopes, and also the siblings Francisco and Leonor Barreto.

The Motorfestival was also the stage for various presentations, from new brand models, which this year included the world premiere of the Opel Corsa GSE, but also special projects, such as the new UMM, the return of the Portaro prototype, and also the Porsche 911 SPC.
