A busy weekend of exciting racing ahead on Sky Sports; Watch Sunday's F1 race from 1.10pm, with build-up from 11.30am
Saturday 24 October 2020 22:17, UK
Get set for a jam-packed weekend of motorsport on Sky Sports F1 with the return of the Portuguese GP headlining a hat-trick of live action from around the four-wheeled world.
In addition to live coverage of every session from the first Formula 1 race at Portimao, the channel is also airing the showpiece Spa 24 Hours in the GT World Challenge Europe and the title-deciding conclusion to the IndyCar season from St Petersburg, Florida.
Sky F1 subscribers can watch the action on TV and the Sky Sports App. For non-subscribers, a NOW TV Sky Sports Day Pass is a one-off payment of £9.99.
And that's not all: our Race to Perfection docuseries concludes this weekend. The first airing of Episode Seven, Trailblazers, is at 9pm on Saturday night on Sky Documentaries, with a second showing at 8.30pm on Sky F1 on Sunday. All episodes so far are available to download On Demand.
Back in Portugal after a quarter of a century away as part of the sport's much-changed 2020 schedule, F1 races at the undulating Algarve International Circuit for the very first time.
Widely likened to motorsport's equivalent of a 'rollercoaster', the 4.65km track is set to put drivers to a physical test in a similar way to another F1 debutant, Mugello, last month - and that served up a barnstorming, dramatic race.
Lewis Hamilton can take the outright record for F1 race wins with a 92nd career success on Sunday, but Mercedes are expecting Red Bull's recent improvement to mean that the battle at the front will continue to get closer between 2020's top two.
Sunday's race starts at 1.10pm, with build-up from 11.30am.

It's five-time champion Scott Dixon vs two-time reigning champion Josef Newgarden in the IndyCar title decider at the season-ending Grand Prix of St Petersburg.
Dixon heads the standings by 32 points but Newgarden has finished ahead of his Chip Ganassi rival in each of the past five races to get back into contention.
A maximum of 54 points are still up for grabs over the weekend.
St Petersburg's temporary street track was originally scheduled to open the 2020 campaign back in March before the coronavirus pandemic delayed the season, but now closes what has been a condensed 14-race schedule taking place at nine circuits in the space of just four months.
