Equipe Sports Prototypes Unveils Expanded 2026 Calendar with Portimão Addition and Triple-Header Race Weekends

The 2026 Equipe Sports Prototypes season continues to gain momentum with exciting updates to its race calendar, promising more on-track action and an exciting international addition.

Calendar Enhancements: More Races, More Excitement

Building on the previously published itinerary, the 2026 season has been restructured to include three races per weekend at two key UK venues, Snetterton 300 and Brands Hatch Indy, enhancing the value and excitement for competitors. In addition, the series has confirmed a brand-new round at the iconic Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, Portugal, delivering an international highlight to the schedule.

The full revised calendar is as follows:

📅 April 4 — Silverstone International• 20-minute qualifying• 2 × 25-minute races

📅 April 18 — Oulton Park International• 20-minute qualifying• 2 × 25-minute races

📅 May 2–3 — Silverstone Grand Prix• 20-minute qualifying• 2 × 25-minute races

The addition of the Portimão round further elevates the series profile by introducing a technically demanding and internationally revered circuit into the Equipe Sports Prototypes landscape.

Arrive & Drive Programme Takes Centre Stage

Alongside the calendar expansion, Revolution Race Cars has reiterated its commitment to supporting drivers with a comprehensive Arrive & Drive offering for the 2026 season.
