The current champion of the F4 Brazil, Heitor Dall Agnol, is set to make his debut in the 2026 season this weekend in Portimão, which will host the opening round of the Eurocup-3 winter tournament. The Brazilian driver will compete for Palou Motorsport, and this will be his first of several international challenges in 2026.
“I’m very happy with this opportunity to make my first weekend in the Eurocup-3. We have everything ready. The team has done a great job, so I thank everyone at Palou Motorsport for this preparation. I spent four days here doing simulator work and I’m very anxious and excited to take my first laps in Portimão,” says Heitor, who has the support of Bradesco.
The Eurocup 3 “Winter Series” consists of three stages, all of which will feature triple-header rounds. The first and last races of each weekend will award 25 points to the winner, while the second race will award 18 points to the winner, as it will be considered a Sprint Race. After the first stage in Portimão, the tournament also plans to hold two stages in Spain, in Jarama and Motorland.
Heitor has been collecting titles since he competed in national karting. A two-time Brazilian karting champion and top-3 finisher in the 2024 Kart OK N World Cup in England, at just 15 years old, Heitor drew attention in single-seaters immediately after making his debut in F4 with a win at the Interlagos Autodrome, in the opening round of last season. The driver dominated the F4 Brazil in 2025 with 11 podiums in 18 races and was crowned champion with two races to spare.
The regular Eurocup 3 championship will begin between May 1st and 3rd at Paul Ricard, in France. The competition will have eight stages throughout the year and will conclude in Barcelona, Spain, on November 8th.
The three races in Portimão will be broadcast live on Bandsports. The first will take place at 9:15 am on Saturday, and the second will be at 11:55 am on the same day. The third and final race will take place at 9:00 am on Sunday.
