The GT4 Winter Series speeds into Valencia for the third event of 2026

The GT4 Winter Series moves from Portugal to Spain at Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo, for the third round of the 2026 season.

After winning all three races during the Estoril weekend, SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm’s Enrico Förderer and Joel Mesch arrive to Spain with a 36-point lead in the overall standings. The Mercedes-AMG GT4 drivers hold 110 points, compared to the 74 of leading PRO-AM outfit Charlie Robertson and Ravi Ramyead (L’Espace Bienvenue BMW).

Frederik Zebis sits third in the overall points standings, and this time moves up to the PRO class, as regular co-driver Tim Horrell is absent. In Horrell’s place in the W&S Motorsport Porsche Cayman GT4 RS CS is Belgian karting graduate Nicolas Guillaume.

Other young talents making their GT4 Winter Series debuts include Matyáš Faiereisl. The 19-year-old joins Šenkýř Motorsport, in a BMW M4 GT4 Evo, having previously joined the team to make successful appearances in Central European GT racing. NM Racing Team brings Spanish GT-CET champion Mario Pinazo, who graduated from karts with the Spanish squad last year.

After debuting last time out at Estoril, Tom Papenburg will be looking to turn the lessons learnt into victories for the Mercedes-AMG GT4 of CV Performance X JP Motorsport.

Charlie Robertson and Ravi Ramyead will once again receive competition from SR Motorsport’s Willi Kühne and Cedric Fuchs, both of whom are fresh off winning their respective classes at last weekend’s GEDLICH Racing 6H of Portimão. Araújo Competição’s Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo will once again be piloted by Bruno Pereira and Goncalo Araújo, adding to a lively class battle.

AM class leader Joachim Bölting (W&S Motorsport Porsche) will have competition from Manuel Bertolin (GT Corse BMW) and Alexandrs Bobrovs. The latter driver will once again hope to claim class wins in the Team VRT Mercedes, following on from his previous success at the Portimão season-opener.

In the Club class, Zome Racing once again arrives with an adjusted line-up in its pair of McLaren 570S GT4s. Breno Arruda will share with Tiago Loureiro in the #95, while the sister #96 car will be piloted by Antonio Duarte and Fernando Costa. Meanwhile, class points leaders Thilo Goos and Mattis Pluschkell once again bring their sonorous BWT Mücke Motorsport Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 to the grid.

The GT4 Winter Series forms just a part of what promises to be a fabulous weekend at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Fans will not only be treated to action from four of the Winter Series categories, but also the car culture extravaganza ROOW, bringing awesome display cars, live music and unrivalled atmosphere to the paddock.

Tickets for the event are still available, while fans around the world will once again be able to follow the action live on the Winter Series YouTube channel.
