Calendar and results The original version of the calendar, which included 5 stages, was changed on April 4 due to the need for teams of more time to prepare for participation in the new season. All events will be held in Portugal. For works in the Estoril circuit, the Federação Portuguesa de Automobilismo e Karting, together with the promoter of the event, opted for the change of the 4th stage for the Braga circuit.
