Smörg arrives at Estoril tied on 99 points with team-mate Francisco Javier Macías, aiming for a podium to overturn leaders Rubén Vaquinhas and Pedro.
Key Points
- Smörg and team-mate Francisco Javier Macías sit on 99 points entering the final round.
- Season form includes two wins at Jarama, two seconds at Algarve, plus podiums at Valencia and Jerez.
- Championship leaders Rubén Vaquinhas and Pedro Bastos hold the advantage and will race an Aston Martin at Estoril.
- A podium finish at Estoril is the final route for Smörg to capitalise on title hopes.
Smörg heads into this weekend’s final round of the Iberian Supercars at Estoril still in contention for the title. The driver arrives with 99 points alongside team-mate Francisco Javier Macías, both sharing the Promotion Motorsport BMW M4 GT4 EVO.
Fresh from finishing runner-up in Supercars España, Smörg brings a consistent season: two second places at Algarve, two wins at Jarama, a second and a third at Valencia, and a further podium at Jerez.
The challenge at Estoril will be tough. They must reduce the advantage held by Rubén Vaquinhas and Pedro Bastos, who will race on home soil in an Aston Martin. Despite that, Smörg expressed confidence in the pace shown across the year and in the late-season momentum of a team that has grown more competitive.
A podium finish at Estoril would be the best way to capitalise on the final opportunity to claim the Iberian title.
