In the last two weekends with Porsche Cup activities, the driver shone. Racing at the Algarve GP in Portugal, Marçal won a race in the Sprint category and extended his lead. The following weekend, in the Endurance debut, the driver also won, but sharing the cockpit with Gaetano Di Mauro.
Now, the driver returns to the solo competition, on the stage where he debuted in 2026 with pole position and the first victory of the 2026 Porsche Cup season. A good performance can put the driver very close to the title, narrowing the dispute to the last stage.
For the final part of this season, the Porsche Cup holds two qualifying sessions for the starting grid, eliminating the inverted grid. The regulation change may help Marçal Muller, who was pole position in two of the four Sprint stages and who has great performance on Saturdays, combining the two poles in qualifying with three race wins.

What he said:
“Expectations are high. We have only two stages and four races, leading with a certain advantage. We will keep our heads straight and think about the championship, arriving in Interlagos seeking poles and victories, so we reach the last stage in the best possible position in the grand final, at the event together with Formula 1.”
