RACE WEEKEND – PORTIMÃO 🇵🇹😎
After a fantastic weekend at Le Mans, where three Formula Racing drivers stepped onto the famous podium, we’re back in action for Round 5 of the Ferrari Challenge Europe at Portimão – one of the most spectacular circuits on the calendar. The 4.653-kilometre track is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes, blind corners and fast, flowing layout, while high summer temperatures are expected to make conditions even more demanding.
“It’s great to be back in the Ferrari Challenge paddock after a fantastic weekend at Le Mans earlier this summer. We’re expecting a tough weekend, not least because of the high temperatures, which will put both the drivers and the crew to the test. We’ve now entered the second half of the season, so things are starting to heat up in the championship as well. We have several drivers in strong positions, and most importantly, we’re right in the fight for the team championship, which is our ultimate goal to win,” says Race & Event Executive at Formula, Thor Qualmann.
Six Formula Racing drivers will take on Portimão this weekend. Niklas Abrahamsen – a promising young talent from Norway – makes his Ferrari Challenge debut in Trofeo Pirelli, while Japan’s Nobuhiro Imada lines up in Trofeo Pirelli Am.
In Coppa Shell, Canadian Eric Cheung – who heads into the weekend fourth in the standings – is back on track, while Denmark’s Henrik Kamstrup returns to action in Coppa Shell Am. Kamstrup will be joined by Masaru Yoneda (Japan) and Charles Chan (Hong Kong), who have both enjoyed strong seasons so far and currently sit fourth and third in the championship, respectively.
