SOLENN AMROUCHE, MAYA HARTGE & PIA OHLSSON Launch Endurance Season at Abu Dhabi

January 12, 2026

• SOLENN AMROUCHE delivered a gritty sixth-place finish in 992 Am for Seblajoux Racing despite battling radio communication issues throughout the race. After taking over from teammate Lionel Rigaud mid-race, she climbed as high as class leader before strategic pit stops and late-race pressure from rivals. Her ability to manage traffic and defend position while essentially racing blind showcased exactly the kind of racecraft that separates weekend warriors from proper endurance drivers.
• MAYA HARTGE made her endurance racing debut count with a top-ten finish for Fulgenzi Racing, proving her Ferrari Challenge experience translated beautifully to the longer format. Despite an early qualifying scare when her Porsche 992 went sideways at speed, she kept her composure during a caution-heavy middle stint and helped secure P10. For someone making their first six-hour start, finishing in the points while sharing duties with seasoned pros is exactly how you earn respect in the endurance paddock.
• PIA OHLSSON came tantalizingly close to a podium breakthrough, leading TCE early and running in the top three for most of the race before ultimately finishing fourth with asBest Racing. Her dual-car effort showed impressive versatility, though the #102 Cupra’s early troubles meant focusing efforts on the #101 Seat Leon. Missing the podium by one position after six hours of strong running has to sting, but this kind of consistent front-running performance is building a reputation that opens doors.
• CHANTAL PRINZ’s race ended in heartbreak when she was collected and sent hard into the barriers at Turn 21, eliminating HOFOR Racing’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 after she’d been holding her own in the competitive GT3 Am field. Racing incidents are part of endurance racing reality, but losing a solid run through no fault of your own never gets easier to swallow. The good news? She was running competitively before the contact, which matters more than the result line.
