Season finale of the 2026 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, back on the calendar for the first time since 2015. Rafael Duran returns to the #45 Rinaldi Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo alongside David Perel and Dylan Medler in the Silver Cup for the decisive round where the championship titles will be settled. The 4.692 km Algarve layout is a true roller coaster, dramatic elevation changes, blind crests, fast sweepers and the iconic downhill plunge after Turn 1, making it one of the most spectacular and physically demanding circuits in Europe. Three hours of flat-out racing under the Portuguese autumn sun, with the 2026 split qualifying format (Q1A/B – Q2A/B – Q3A/B) sharpening every tenth of the grid. A faultless execution will be everything.
