Welcome to what's going to be a quickfire weekend sports cars podcast, part of the Marshall Pruck podcast, with myself, Graeme Goodwin and friend and colleague Stephen Kilby.

As always, backed by the Justice Brothers and Toronto Motorsports.com.

We're going to get into it because we're running a deadline for other things going on today, Stephen.

Lots to cover and we're going to do it in quick fire fashion. El-Mess last weekend at Portimae. Yeah,

superb event. Champions crowned in the final four-hour race of the season and then a bundle of

testing for four days for Le Mans Cup and ELMS teams.

I mean, for me, just another really interesting week in Portugal,

lots of storylines to track.

Let's start with the race, though, Graham, the ELMS race held on the Saturday.

VDS Pellas Racing, winning the championship in style with

a race win as well for Esteban, Masson, Oliang, Oliang and Charles Malesi, who, let's be honest,

emerged as the best all-round package in a season full of really intriguing young lineups.

Yeah, should have won them on, anMP2, failure right at the end,

gutting for the whole team,

Olly Gray at the time.

He, for me, standout,

newcomer of the year,

emerging talent in the year,

because the second year with LMP2,

but the three of them together,

pretty much unbeatable.

Delighted to hear from Olivier Panissi, we'd love to have kept that crew together, but with Olly Gray upgraded to gold, that won't happen.
