In the under-23s, the title was not disputed at all because Yoland Carrapatelo completely dominated with 8 poles and 8 victories.

It is the 1st title for Yolanda. The sub-23 legend continues to be Tomas Gois Rocha with 3 titles. The 2nd place went to Noe Nogueira who ended up with 2 wins and 7 races on the podium.

With Yolanda Carrapatelo, Noe Nogueira, Ricarco Trincao V all leaving the under-23s, who will emerge to succeed to Yolanda? In the main class, can Mauricio get the 2nd title or Nádia Portocarrero or even another driver will manage to surprise him?
