The Portimão finale’s free streams drew a record 9.7 million views; the English-language race stream alone accounted for two million.
The GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup finale at Portimão drew a record 9.7 million views across its practice, qualifying and race livestreams. RacingNews365 linked the surge in interest to Max Verstappen’s presence in the paddock; the sessions were free to watch on GTWorld’s YouTube channel.
The English-language race stream drew two million views, nearly five times the 412,000 recorded by the English-language stream of the previous Endurance Cup round, a three-hour race at the Nürburgring.
The live onboard of the #3 Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing entry received more than 400,000 views. The only other onboard shown live, from the #93 Ziggo Sport Tempesta Racing car, drew 24,000.
GTWorld’s channel began 2026 with 822,000 subscribers and had since passed one million.
