Prototype Winter Series Portimao: Rinaldi Racing and ANS Motorsport share wins
In both races, safety car periods affected the outcome and prevented the pitstop handicap system from fully playing out as intended. Julien Lemoine and Clement Moreno (ANS Motorsport) won the Saturday race, while Sandro Holzem (Rinaldi Racing) won the Sunday race driving solo. In the Saturday race, the Inter Europol Ligier had an early crash due to a brake failure, allowing Holzem and Danny Soufi (Konrad Motorsport) to fight for the lead. However, a safety car period nullified their lead, and both drivers faced issues later in the race. Lemoine and Moreno took advantage of their clean run and luck with the safety car to claim victory. The Sunday race saw Wyatt Brichacek (DKR Engineering) lead confidently from pole position, with Holzem and Soufi close behind. Sebastian Gravlund (Inter Europol) started from the back but aimed for redemption.
