Jakobsen forces Algarve Pro Racing win in LMP2 Pro/Am

Michael Jensen, Enzo Trulli and Malthe Jakobsen did not lead a single lap during the 4 Hours of Portimao. They nevertheless won the LMP2 Pro/Am category at the wheel of the #20 ORECA of the Algarve Pro Racing team and secured the LMP2 Pro/Am championship title thanks to a spectacular comeback by Malthe Jakobsen, who started his stint 14 seconds behind, ultimately crossing the finish line 3.014 seconds behind the winner.

The pressure exerted on Huffaker, led the driver of TDS Racing #14 to commit several traffic violations. This earned the #14 team a 35-seconds penalty after the race, which is equivalent to a drive-through penalty.

The Team Championship win granted Algarve Pro Racing an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2027.

Finally a podium for #47 CLX Motorsport

Charles Milesi, Ferdinand Habsburg, Georgios Kolovos on board of the #47 CLX Motorsport ORECA scored their first podium finish of the season with a P2.

Still a podium for #14 TDS Racing

Steven Thomas, Sami Meguetounif and Scott Huffaker dominated the LMP2 Pro/Am class with the #14 TDS Racing Shopiify sponsored ORECA as Sami Meguetounif took the lead at the end of the second hour. Together with Scott Huffaker they led during 77 laps of the 79 covered during the rest of the race but Huffaker’s 35-seconds penalty after the race dropped them in P3.

#7 Vector Sport Oreca 07 driven by Jens Reno Moller, Cem Bölükbasi and Lorenzo Fluxa end fourth while pole sitting #3 DKR Engineering Oreca 07 ends fifth with Jean Glorieux, Marlon Hernandez and Maceo Capietto on board.
