VICTORIA BLOKHINA Claims Top-20 in Eurocup-3 Winter Series Jerez Opener

February 13, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

VICTORIA BLOKHINA delivered exactly what we needed to see from her Jerez weekend – consistency and fight. Her rocket starts were the standout feature, gaining four spots in race one and an impressive six positions off the line in race two. That’s not luck, that’s preparation meeting opportunity, and it shows she’s done the homework on racecraft that separates the tourists from the competitors.
The Drivex driver’s weekend tells the story of a racer who knows how to extract performance when it matters. After qualifying struggles left her starting 24th twice, BLOKHINA refused to settle for back-of-pack anonymity. Her race two stint from laps 3-10 was clinic-level stuff – lapping within 1.5 tenths of her best time while hunting down Cristian Cantu shows the kind of mental toughness that wins championships.
Most encouraging was BLOKHINA’s ability to bounce back from setbacks, particularly in race three where contact dropped her to 22nd before she carved back through traffic. That safety car restart where she picked off three drivers in quick succession? That’s the kind of opportunistic racing that separates rookies from seasoned competitors. Her 20th place finish in race one might not grab headlines, but the underlying pace and racecraft development suggests bigger things ahead at Portimao.
