Calendar and results[edit]
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.[4][5] 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.[6]
