Our own timing. Mees’s car is amber and the other cars of the same make are lighter, so you can see at a glance where they are running.
NewsMees Houben has ended his debut season in the GT4 European Series with the Rookie of the Year award. The prize was presented after the final round at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimão, where Mees and co-driver Lachlan Evennett also confirmed Speedy Motorsport as the best Toyota team of 2026. The weekend did not start smoothly. A red flag during Mees's flying lap in qualifying left him without a representative time, and a subsequent grid penalty for exceeding the speed limit under the red flag pushed the pair to the back of the grid for Race 1.

NewsFrom 16 to 18 October, Mees Houben will contest the final two races of his debut season in the GT4 European Series. The finale takes place at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimão, and it carries extra meaning: it is the home ground of his Portuguese team, Speedy Motorsport. Mees looks back on a strong first year at international GT level. He finished on the podium on his debut at Paul Ricard, took third place at Misano and finished second in front of his home crowd at Zandvoort. Together with Lachlan Evennett in the Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2, he aims to end the season in Portugal with a strong result. Portimão is new ground for the GT4 European Series, as the current series races there for the first time. The 4.6 km circuit is known for its elevation changes, blind corners and fast sections, and has hosted MotoGP and two Formula 1 Grands Prix. Mees already knows the track: earlier this year he made a guest appearance here with Speedy Motorsport. One more weekend, two more races. Follow Mees on this website and his social media for all updates from Portimão.
