BMW M2 Cup Iberia, €25,000 in prize money

A partnership between Race Ready and BMW Ibérica, the BMW M2 Cup Iberia runs inside the Supercars Endurance platform, which brings together the Iberian Supercars, Campeonato de Portugal de Velocidade and Supercars España. The single-make trophy races inside the Touring class, sharing the grid with the GTC cars now that GT4 competes separately.

Across ten races over five weekends, €25,000 in prize money will be split between the top three of every race, €1,500 for the winner, €750 for second and €250 for third. The 2026 BMW M2 Cup Iberia champion will also test a BMW M4 GT4.

The Programme

FPAK Júnior Team, elite class of 2026

The FPAK Júnior Team is the Federação Portuguesa de Automobilismo e Karting's high-performance development programme, built to identify and accelerate the careers of Portugal's most promising young drivers. Every year, only a tiny handful of athletes are selected from the entire national pool across karting, rally and circuit racing.

For 2026, Diego is one of just four drivers chosen for the Velocidade (circuit) project, alongside Bernardo Passanha, Nathan Corbet and Gonçalo Moura, to represent Portugal at the highest level of Iberian motorsport.

Brand Experiences

Hot laps with your guests on board

Beyond the championship, I run co-driving hot lap experiences for sponsors, clients and VIP guests at private track events. Two seats, full racing kit, real circuit pace, the kind of adrenaline memory that turns a brand activation into a story people retell for years.

From corporate hospitality days to product launches and dealership events, your guests ride shotgun while I put the car on the limit. A turn-key activation, branded around your company, delivered with full safety standards.

Sim Racing & Coaching

From the simulator to real circuit pace

Sim racing is a core part of how I prepare. Hours on a professional rig, on the same circuits I race on real-world weekends, lock in braking points, racing lines and tyre management before I ever leave the pit lane. It's where lap time is built quietly, in the dark, weeks before the helmet goes on.

I also coach drivers, from sim racers chasing real cockpits to amateur and gentleman drivers preparing for race weekends. Telemetry-driven debriefs, on-board analysis, racecraft, and mental preparation, the same tools I use to compete.
