GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ALBA LARSEN delivered her strongest qualifying performance since the season opener, securing P3 in Las Vegas just 0.017s behind P2 – proving she’s finally cracked the code on adapting quickly to new circuits with limited practice time, something she specifically targeted for improvement.
- The 16-year-old Tommy Hilfiger driver showed tactical maturity by working with teammate MAYA WEUG to master the slipstream game on Vegas’ long straight, initially struggling but regrouping to execute perfect tows that dramatically improved both their times and demonstrated real teamwork under pressure.
- With six top-five finishes this season but no podium yet, LARSEN’s P3 starting position for Race 2 represents her best shot at that elusive maiden trophy, especially after proving she can beat title contenders CHLOE CHAMBERS and ALISHA PALMOWSKI when it counts.
