00:00Nathan Tye is right there to steal it.
00:03And if they both get it wrong, Kaspar Schaumann, Nasha Dunyon and Andrei Petrovic are waiting in the wings.
00:10This is an absolute rout.
00:12There goes Boris Lyssen.
00:14Nathan Tye's gone relatively with him.
00:17But he's not quite going to get the natural tow.
00:21Off a safety car restart, it's not going to be easy, but let's try.
00:24Green, green, green, green. Final lap of Portimao.
00:27First race of the weekend of the second round of the EFOR Spanish Championship 2026.
00:32Lyssen protects the inside line.
00:34He's going to try for it anyway.
00:37Battles further back.
00:38And Montero and Caton run out wide.
00:41The teammates get hung out to dry.
00:45And they've blown their chances of a decent points finish.
00:49I told you anything could happen at Portimao.
00:52And Nathan Tye knows it.
00:54He knows he's running out of time.
00:57Caution to the wind.
00:58Can he go for that move into the hairpin?
01:01Well, Lyssen knows it's coming.
01:03Schaumann's has got two T-coats on him.
01:06Holds the inside.
01:08To the right-hand side.
01:10Thunyon's going to make that work.
01:11He's going to get third around the outside.
01:14Thunyon will hold it.
01:15He commits.
01:16Schaumann steals it.
01:18Fantastic work.
01:19Yellow flag's further back at turn five.
01:21Same place as we had before.
01:25But this is going to go to the end, I think.
01:28Out of the final corners of the second sector.
01:32And running through.
01:34Up the top of the crest.
01:35Watch out, boys.
01:36You've got a hard-charging Irishman up the inside.
01:39Killer!
01:39Oh!
01:40And up and over goes Petrovic.
01:42Oh!
01:44Three into one just doesn't go at Portimao.
01:48We're on the final lap.
01:49We're going to the finish.
01:50But it's yellow flags, of course.
01:53And Petrovic is no longer in the top five.
01:57Disaster for the Serbian.
01:59But it's going to be Bonis Lyssen to take the victory out in front of Nathan Ty.
02:05We wait to see the chequered flag.
02:08Here comes Bonis Lyssen.
02:09Ty did everything he could.
02:11But it's the pole, Bonis Lyssen, who wins the first race of the weekend.
02:14From Nathan Ty and Kasper Schaumann with Dan Kelleher.
02:18Coming through for fourth position in front of Coronel, Fischer, Thunyon, Pignon.
02:24And Piñera, sorry.
02:25Canthan and Montero get ninth and tenth.
02:28Petrovic is out of the car.
02:29And he's enraged.
02:32What a way to start this weekend.
02:36Bonis Lyssen.
02:38Fabulous drive.
02:41Majestic race win from Bonis Lyssen.
02:45Nathan Ty.
02:47working so hard to catch him.
02:50And I think without that safety car before, he probably had a chance to get it done.
02:56What a crazy end to this first race of the weekend.
03:00Nathan Ty second place for DRIVEX.
03:02That's their best result in season of the Air Force Spanish Championship.
03:07They've had wins in the Winter Championship, of course.
03:09But that's their best result in the Air Force Spanish Championship for quite some time.
03:16And Kasper Schaumann's his best ever result in the Air Force Spanish Championship.
03:20Third place for the Dutchman.
03:22Great run.
03:25And provisionally, Dan Kelleher will join them on the rookie podium.
03:29But at the moment, fourth position.
03:31I have a feeling there could be an investigation, though.
03:36Because there's definitely going to be a little bit more conversation.
03:41And, of course, there will also be a trophy for the first female driver home.
03:44And that's going to be Zoe Florescu.
03:47Here's that incident again.
03:48Look, Schaumann's.
03:49Up the inside comes Kelleher.
03:50He tags Tugnion.
03:51Tugnion goes into his teammate.
03:53And, wow!
03:54Up and over goes Petrovic.
03:58Fortunate that he's on four wheels.
03:59And Andrei Petrovic, well, he's not hurt.
04:04But he's angry.
04:07And I wouldn't really blame him for that one.
04:09Because he got spat out on the last lap.
04:11Went for what could have been a podium.
04:16So, Bodysh Laisen takes the victory after a very tough break.
04:21That was only the first race of the weekend.
04:23Can you believe it?
04:24We've still got two great races to come.
04:28We've got the shortest sprint race.
