“Very happy with this opportunity to have my first weekend in Eurocup-3. We have everything ready. The team did a great job, so I thank everyone at Palou Motorsport for this preparation. I spent four days here doing the simulator and I am very anxious and excited to take the first laps in Portimão,” says Heitor, who has support from Bradesco.
The Eurocup 3 “Winter Series” consists of three stages, all of them held in triple-headers. The first and last race of each weekend provide 25 points to the winner, while the second race awards 18 points to the winner as it is considered the Sprint Race. After the first stage in Portimão, the tournament also includes two stages in Spain, in Jarama and at Motorland.
Heitor has been collecting titles since he competed in national karting. Two-time Brazilian kart champion and top-3 in the OK N Kart World Cup in 2024 in England, at just 15 years old, Heitor drew attention in single-seaters right upon his F4 debut with a victory at the Interlagos Circuit, in the opening of last season. The driver dominated F4 Brazil in 2025 with 11 podiums in 18 races held and was champion with two races to spare.
