Six Aston Martin Vantage GT4s for the Estoril Endurance Festival this weekend

Thursday, November 28, 2024

Whilst the Iberian Supercars Series may have concluded a few weeks back, its sister Campeonato de Portugal de Velocidade Series has one last dance to get through this weekend as they embark upon their Estoril Endurance Festival.

Within their published entry list today lists most of the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 teams and crew that competed within the five round Iberian Super Cars Series with the sole exception of the Mirage Racing entry simply because they are also busy with this weekend with a two-car entry at the final round of the GT4 European Series from Jeddah.

That leaves four cars from the Portuguese teams Racar Motorsport and Araujo Competicao with AMR Vantage GT4s of various iterations spread across the available Pro, Am and Bronze classes.

This weekend will again feature two forty-five-minute races over Sunday after private testing on Friday and further Free Practice and Qualifying on Saturday.

The Racar Motorsport entries will consist of #2 Pro entry of Manuel Giao/Mathieu Martins; the #3 Pro entry of Francisco Cruz/Roberto Faria (who skips the GT4 European Series finale in favour of this more local event); #6 Bronze entry of solo racer Jose Carlos Pires and the #777 Am entry for Rubens Vaquinhas and Pedro Bastos Rezende.

Complementing them will be the two Araujo Competicao Pro class entries of both Bruno Pereira/ Goncalo Araujo aboard the #007 and Vasco Oliveira and Duarte Pinto Coelho aboard the #28 car.
