GRRL! musings:

Ok, kids. It’s happening a lot more frequently. Jamie Chadwick, along with her co-drivers scored her teams 2nd win of the Le Mans season. Lilou Wadoux driving for Ferrari, also delivered her team’s 2nd win in the LMGT3 class, and now leads in the overall championship. Anyone who thinks women are a sideshow is going to take this really hard (sorry, not sorry).

GRRL! SUMMARY:

JAMIE CHADWICK and her IDEC Sport teammates Daniel Juncadella and Mathys Jaubert scored their second European Le Mans Series victory of 2025 in a rain-soaked Silverstone thriller. The team’s strategic wet weather call proved decisive when they jumped to the front during the chaos of changing conditions, ultimately winning by nearly six seconds when red flags ended the race early due to poor visibility.
LILOU WADOUX delivered clutch wet weather driving to claim LMGT3 victory for Richard Mille AF Corse after a dramatic finish that saw the lead change hands multiple times. When Riccardo Pera passed her just before the red flag, it looked like defeat, but the race was counted back one lap, reinstating WADOUX to victory – her team’s second win of the season and enough to take the championship lead.
The Silverstone victories showcase both drivers’ ability to excel when conditions get tough. CHADWICK’s team trimmed the championship deficit to just six points heading into the season finale at Portimao, while WADOUX’s strategic patience in mixed conditions mirrors her earlier Paul Ricard triumph, proving she’s become a formidable wet weather specialist in the competitive LMGT3 field.
