LMP3 Test

I had the opportunity to complete my first-ever test in an LMP3 car at Portimão with Team Virage – and it was an experience I’ll never forget.

It was my first time driving a proper downforce race car, which added a whole new layer to how I approach racing. The feeling of being glued to the track in high-speed corners was unlike anything I’ve felt before. It forced me to adapt my driving style — more flow, more trust in the grip — but once I settled into the rhythm, it became incredibly rewarding.

It was also a return to raw, pure driving – no ABS, no traction control. Just me and the car. I loved every second of it.

The Virage team was spot-on – the entire test ran smoothly, professionally, and in a great atmosphere. Definitely a bucket list moment checked off.
