Nil Solans, Gil Membrado, David Cordero, and Juan Antonio Conesa took the early lead in their respective categories at the Andbank GSeries 2025-2026 ice racing championship's opening round on the Circuit Andorra-Pas de la Casa last Saturday night.

In the premier category, Solans from Matadepera—2017 Junior WRC and WRC3 champion, and a two-time GSeries winner—delivered a commanding performance in his updated PCR Sport Giand 4x4. He won both qualifying and Final A to top the overall standings, with Andorran Albert Llovera securing second after victory in Final B and defending champion Sito Español taking third following his runner-up finish in Final A.

The Rally3 class debuted successfully with all-wheel-drive cars fitting naturally into the series format. Eighteen-year-old Gil Membrado from Olost, fresh off his Spanish Rally Terra and CERT title, claimed the win in his Ford Fiesta Rally3 ahead of newcomers Jesús Jiménez in second and Daniel Alonso in third.

Kartcross ran in an open format with boosted entries this season. David Cordero won Final A, while his teammate Ares Lahoz took Final B for a one-two team result. 2022 WTCR champion Mikel Azcona rounded out the podium in his ice racing debut.

Side by Side delivered intense action and strong turnout. Juan Antonio Conesa dominated with wins in qualifying and Final A to lead the category, ahead of Maxime Emery, winner of Final B. Debutant Dani Solà placed fourth, with Eduardo García in the top ranks.

The event showcased elite talent, fresh competitors, and cutting-edge machinery ahead of the holiday break. The series resumes on January 10.
