GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MAYA WEUG delivered when it counted most, claiming pole position by a microscopic 0.042 seconds over championship rival DORIANE PIN under Singapore’s spectacular night lights. The Ferrari junior’s clutch 2:03.453 lap earned her third pole of the season and crucial championship points, proving she thrives under pressure when the title fight gets tight.
  • Wild card LISA BILLARD absolutely stunned the field with a top-five qualifying performance on her series debut, becoming the first guest driver this season to crack the top five. Meanwhile, LIA BLOCK’s eighth-place finish sets her up perfectly for Saturday’s reverse grid pole position – her first career pole start coming at the very track where she scored her maiden top-five as a rookie.
  • The session turned chaotic early when championship contender ALISHA PALMOWSKI crashed at Turn 5 before setting a flying lap, destroying her rear suspension and forcing her to start from the back. CHLOE CHAMBERS looked strong for pole with her 2:03.642 but couldn’t find those final hundredths, while ELLA LLOYD’s spectacular save at the final corner after a mistake showed the fine margins separating this incredibly competitive field.
