Alceu Feldmann started from pole position after the grid reversal. Sebá Malucelli, Jeff Giassi, and Matheus Comparatto completed the top four positions in Interlagos.
Lights out and start authorized at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Feldmann squeezed toward the wall to maintain the lead, while Comparatto made a jump and moved into second place.
Further back, André Gaidzinski ended up going off track and finished in the tire barrier, dropping down the field.
Marçal Müller was the winner of race 1 and at the start of the second lap, he was in sixth place. It is worth remembering that the competitor still had nine of the 10 boosts of the weekend – the extra power.
With just over 20 minutes to the checkered flag, Feldmann was leading the pack. However, Matheus caught up to his opponent and, with a precise move using the Boost button, left Alceu behind and took the lead of the race.
At this moment, the order was Comparatto in first, with Feldmann, Jeff Giassi, Thiago Vivacqua, and Marçal completing the top 5. In Sport, Alceu was the leader, while Bruno Campos led in Rookie.

Once again, the lead of race 2 of the Porsche Carrera Cup changed hands. This time, Feldmann managed to overtake Matheus to retake first position, but the driver of car #1 fought back and, in the process, Comparatto was first.
It turns out that Giassi was the one who took advantage of the battle between the top two. The competitor, a full-time rookie in 2026, took second place – and now the safety car came out onto the track.
Less than ten minutes to the start of the final lap and green flag in Interlagos. An exciting fight for the lead in the first meters and weaving well on the track, Jeff found space on the inside line and managed to take first place, in search of his first victory.
Nearing the end, Jeff was in first, with Comparatto, Feldmann, Vivacqua, and Müller completing the top five positions. It turned out that Alceu managed to pass Matheus and was the new runner-up.
Giassi was heading for his triumph in the Porsche Cup and already had more than a 3s lead over the rest of the field. Feldmann, in second, led in Sport, while Pipo Massa was on his way to a second victory in the Rookie class.
And the checkered flag for Jeff Giassi, who was the first to cross the line in Interlagos. Feldmann, Comparatto, Müller, and Vivacqua complete the top 5. Alceu wins in Sport and Pipo in Rookie.
