Month: September 2023

There are 14 drivers who will compete for victory in the TCR Spain stage, which is also in Estoril as an integral part of the official F4 Spain program.

The Portuguese Estoril track hosts a new race in which fourteen drivers will fight for victory, both in the main category and in the TCR Cup Spain. After the victory in the opening round in Navarra, Quique Bordás starts as favorite, but will have to deal with rivals the size of Álvaro García, with very few points, or with the several drivers who will make their debut on the Portuguese track and who arrive here with “hungry of victories.”

The weekend will begin on Saturday with the first free practice session at 10:30 am; and again from 1:10 p.m. The qualifying session will take place at 5:40 pm, determining the starting positions for Sunday’s two races. The first of them will be held from 10 am, and the second scheduled from 1:30 pm. In these, in addition to the relevant points for both TCR Spain, TCR Cup Spain and the TCR Spain Junior Spanish Trophy, the last points in play for the TCR World Ranking will be distributed.

This weekend is the last in which points can be added towards the classification that gives access to the TCR world final, in which both the TCR World Tour world champion riders and the best classified in the TCR World Ranking will compete. That’s why this weekend in Estoril takes on a very special importance in the TCR world, giving TCR Spain an unprecedented media image. Both races can be followed live on TCR TV.

Integrated into this weekend’s sporting program, the Eurocup3 is in Estoril.

Consecutive races for the Eurocup-3 circus! Teams and drivers arrive directly from Jerez to face the 6th round of the season at the Autódromo Fernanda Pires da Silva, in Estoril, this weekend (September 29th to October 1st, 2023).

There will once again be 18 drivers competing on the Portuguese track, with the GRS Team welcoming Emerson Fittipaldi Jr after a last minute change, with Daniel Mavlyutov returning to the team after missing the last round.

Esteban Masson arrives at Estoril after a double ‘zero’ last week ready to redeem himself now that his advantage has been reduced to just 7 points over Sebastian Ogaard, now P2 after achieving his first victory in Eurocup-3 with Mari Boya in P3 and Francesco Braschi closed the gap in fourth place with his second victory of the season at the Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto.

On the other hand, the battle between Campos Racing and MP Motorsport is more “heated” than ever, with the two teams tied on 314 points with three rounds to go.

An action-packed weekend for teams and drivers at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, with a lively Friday including 4 collective testing sessions, whilst free practice and qualifying 1 sessions on Saturday, with race 1 at 4.50pm .

Qualifying 2 will be held on Sunday morning at 9:30am, to conclude the event with Race 2 at 12:45pm.

Almost without time to rest after the Jerez race, the Spanish Formula 4 Championship faces its fifth race of the year at the Autódromo Fernanda Pires da Silva (Estoril) this weekend (September 29th to October 1st). There will once again be 35 drivers competing on the Portuguese track with the return of Hiyu Yamakoshi to the Tecnicar Formula de Campeones after his absence in Jerez or the championship debuts of Sebastian Murray (Sainteoc Racing) and Valentin Kluss (MP Motorsport).

After his fifth victory of the year, Theophile Nael (Sainteloc Racing) is more leader than ever with 55 points ahead of his closest rival, the Italian Valerio Rinicella (MP Motorsport) with 141, while Enzo Deligny (Campos Racing), Christian Ho (Campos Racing) Racing) and Pedro Clerot (MP Motorsport) complete a top 5 that can still do many laps until the end of the season.

Teams and drivers face an action-packed weekend that begins on Friday with four collective training sessions to acclimatize to the Portuguese track. Saturday will bring together the two free practice sessions, the first qualifying session of the race and the first race of the weekend, scheduled for 3:55 pm local time.

For its part, Sunday’s agenda will include the second qualifying session, the short race in Estoril at 11:45 am local time and the last race of the weekend, which will take place at 2:30 pm local time.

All races will be available live on the Spanish F4 Championship YouTube channel. Additionally, race 3 can also be seen live on RTVE Play.
