Spanish Driver Pablo Amorós Passes Away Following Accident at Circuito de Monteblanco
Spanish driver and lawyer Pablo Amorós Leblic died on Sunday following a fatal crash during a GTI Trophy event at the Circuito de Monteblanco in La Palma del Condado, Huelva, according to statements released by the Real Federación Española de Automovilismo (RFEDA).
Amorós, who competed as a regular across Spanish racing circuits and rallies, was participating in the fourth round of the GTI Trophy season. Prior to Sunday’s race at the Andalusian venue, he stood fifth in the championship standings. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain under review, and officials have not yet released detailed technical findings from the track.
Governing Body and Series Tributes
The RFEDA issued an official statement following the tragedy, expressing profound sorrow over the driver’s death. “Desde la RFEDA queremos expresar nuestra profunda tristeza por el fallecimiento del piloto Pablo Amorós durante la prueba disputada hoy en el Circuito de Monteblanco (Huelva),” the federation stated, offering condolences to his family and friends. Additional tributes arrived from the Circuito de Madrid Jarama – RACE and the organizing team behind the GTI Trophy, alongside specialized motorsport organizations across Spain.
A Versatile Career in Circuits and Rallies
Beyond his professional work as an attorney and socio director at the firm ILEX Tax & Legal, Amorós built a lengthy and diverse motorsports resume. Records show his early involvement in national competition dates back to at least 2011, when he finished fifth overall in the Mini Challenge standings with 166 points—a campaign that also included competition at the very same Monteblanco layout.

Over subsequent seasons, Amorós expanded his repertoire into rallies and off-road events. He competed in the Copa Hyundai, the Mini Challenge, and the Copa Kobe Motor before transitioning into cross-country competition. In 2022, he achieved one of his career milestones by clinching the Spanish All-Terrain Rally Championship (Campeonato de España de Rallies Todo Terreno) in the Open category alongside his team, competing during that era behind the wheel of a Dacia Duster.
Return to Circuit Racing
After establishing himself in cross-country rallying, Amorós shifted his focus back to tarmac circuits. His firm announced his entry into the GTI Trophy in April, marking a return to circuit racing. The GTI Trophy, established in 2025, features specifically prepared fourth-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI cars. Amorós made his return to the series at the Circuito del Jarama on April 17–18 before traveling to Huelva for Sunday’s fateful round at Monteblanco.
