Siblings Juan Miguel and Leopoldo Larios achieved a remarkable third place at the Portimão circuit in Portugal during the Spanish GT Championship, solidifying their rise in international motorsport. Driving a Porsche 991, the talented brothers from Granada demonstrated impressive technical and strategic prowess, marking a milestone in their preparation for competing in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in 2026, regarded as the most demanding single-brand competition in the world.
The Black Star Petroleum Racing Team, led by Juan Miguel Larios, national champion in 2005, and his brother Leopoldo, has been conceived as a professional platform aimed at reaching the pinnacle of motorsport. After the race, Juan Miguel expressed his satisfaction: “Portimão tested us, and we showed we are ready for more. This podium is a result of consistency and teamwork.” Leopoldo, for his part, expressed his desire to represent Granada, Andalusia, and Spain on the best circuits in the world, stating that “the dream is the Supercup, and we are going for it.”
The team’s success is supported by the strategic backing of Black Star Petroleum, which not only provides technical and logistical support but also enhances its commitment to excellence in the sport. This company, known in the energy sector, has invested in initiatives that promote national talent, strengthening all aspects of the team’s performance, from the maintenance of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to the physical and mental training of the drivers.
Looking ahead to 2026, the Black Star Petroleum Racing Team plans to intensify its preparation and seek new strategic partnerships with sponsors to strengthen its path in the Spanish GT Championship. Their goal is clear: to achieve a historic season in which they can demonstrate their professionalism and help inspire new generations of drivers while positioning Granada on the map of high-level motorsport.
