STALIDZANE & HÖKFELT Make NXT Gen Cup History With Dominant Weekend Wins

August 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

PATRICIJA STALIDZANE absolutely dominated the Sachsenring finale, securing not one but two pole positions by massive margins before converting one into her maiden NXT Gen Cup victory. The Latvian’s seven-tenth pole advantage was the largest in series history, and her pole-to-victory drive in race three proved she wasn’t just fast for one lap – she had the racecraft to back it up under pressure from championship contenders.
SIRI HÖKFELT made her own piece of history by claiming the series’ first-ever female victory in a chaotic wet race two, showcasing exactly the kind of adaptability that separates good drivers from great ones. Starting from the reversed-grid front row, the Swedish driver managed the tricky conditions perfectly, setting fastest lap while leading from the front – a masterclass in wet-weather driving that delivered both her first podium and first win simultaneously.
LINDA FREY finally got the result her season-long improvement deserved, securing her best-ever NXT Gen Cup finish with eleventh place in race three. The Liechtenstein driver’s progression throughout the year showed what happens when talent meets opportunity, consistently gaining positions in wheel-to-wheel combat while BENTE BOER’s return after two years away proved she hasn’t lost a step, running competitive times despite the layoff.
