I have the immense pleasure to announce you that Candy won the race after pole position in FIA Portimao Historic Iberian Championship this week end, beating GT40, Corvette, Porsche, and 58 other cars.
As I ( and Guy Trigaux ) always said, a good Pantera can beat any GT40 with a good preparation and a good driver ! ( which I am not ) and Candy made it easily, killing all the others immediately, but battling till the end , as
the opposition was very "motivated" and talented   !
More details, videos and pics to follow in 2 or 3 days.
I'm on my way back to Brussels right now, but I wanted to  share ASAP with all of you in the Forum,  my joy and pride of being the first Pantera overall win in a major European FIA race for the last 20 years , in Europe ( after 9628 ADA in UK ) FORZA PANTERA, and bless you all !
Pat
