GRRL! SUMMARY:
- HAPPINESSA delivered her strongest performance yet at Autodrom Most despite being sabotaged by relentless technical gremlins – showing the kind of racecraft that had her charging from 22nd to 16th before mechanical issues forced retirement. The German rookie made decisive overtakes on Fabrice Pantani and Sven Van Laere, proving she belongs in the top-15 conversation when her equipment cooperates.
- Technical problems turned what should have been a breakthrough weekend into a masterclass in perseverance. HAPPINESSA couldn’t set a qualifying time due to car issues, missed Race 1 entirely when her machine wouldn’t leave the grid, then watched a small fire end her charging Race 2 drive with just three laps remaining – but not before she’d claimed the Lady Trophy for her efforts.
- The Bremotion driver’s adaptation to Autodrom Most’s challenging layout was impressive, showing particularly strong first-sector times throughout practice and maintaining competitive pace in both wet and dry conditions. Her ability to learn one of the season’s most demanding circuits while fighting equipment failures demonstrates the kind of resilience that separates real racers from the field-fillers.
