Off to Portimao end of October. Can anyone say with genuine knowledge what the plugs are in the pits there?

Are they the round blue 230v 16A power sockets?? Trying to decide which extension leads to take.

Inside the pit garages are the usual two pin euro plugs. These are limited and we had trouble with the RCDs tripping due to the load.

Depending on which garages they use, there is some blue water tight sockets outside the back of the garages.

That's the badger... thank you. Ill take the blue 16Amp sockets, though the "water tight" ones, if I'm thinking the right thing, are the screw up connections.
Seems a bit naff if the only 16 Amp sockets are out side, as that's a fairly standard connection for loads around the world.

Usual caravan power sockets use the above also,

Yep, that's the one. Standard 16amp, 230v socket. But you reckon theirs tripped quite readily? A few sets of tyre warmers, charger or 10 and even a fridge... Not as much as a full pro race team. Should be made for it. We'll find out.
