In early August, Quintanar del Rey (Cuenca) secured a significant victory over San Juan de la Rambla (Tenerife), earning 42 points and moving to the top of the leaderboard. A notable moment during this stage was the ‘Super bowls’ challenge, where a participant named Fernando, known as ‘Culete’, delivered a decisive strike. By late August, Quintanar del Rey successfully qualified for the grand finale after winning a second semifinal against Altura (Castellón). In a highly competitive match, Quintanar del Rey defeated Altura with a narrow score of 34-33. While Altura performed well in several challenges, Quintanar del Rey gained a crucial advantage during the ‘superbolos’ test. The victory was ultimately decided in the final game, ‘El Diccionario’, when the Quintanar team correctly identified that the word ‘zurriburri’ exists in the RAE dictionary, clinching the win by a single point. Quintanar del Rey is scheduled to face Polinyà (Barcelona) in the season finale on Wednesday, September 2. The championship episode will be hosted by Ramón García, with Victoria Marty and Miguel Maldonado serving as assistants. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-30: Quintanar del Rey advances to ‘El Grand Prix’ grand final Quintanar del Rey defeated Altura 34-33 in the second semifinal of ‘El Grand Prix del Verano’, advancing to the grand final to face Polinyà on September 2. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/quintanar-del-rey-qualifies-for-el-grand-prix-2026-final ### 2026-08-03: Ramón García celebrates Grand Prix win as Quintanar del Rey tops rankings Quintanar del Rey won the latest El Grand Prix with 42 points, impressing host Ramón García, who says he isn’t retiring and hopes to host a live morning show. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ramn-garca-celebrates-grand-prix-win-as-quintanar-del-rey-tops-rankings --- Cite as: El Grand Prix 2026 television competition.
