GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ISABELL RUSTAD proved she belongs at the top level of Scandinavian motorsport with a solid sixth-place rookie finish in 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia. The Norwegian driver helped Fragus Motorsport dominate the Teams’ Championship while consistently running in the top ten, capping her debut season with a career-best fourth place at Mantorp Park that showed real promise for what’s ahead.
- Those 13 seventh-place finishes tell the real story – RUSTAD was right there knocking on the door all season long. When you’re consistently that close to bigger results in your rookie year, it’s not frustration, it’s fuel. Her breakthrough fourth-place finish at Mantorp Park wasn’t luck; it was everything finally clicking at the right moment, and that momentum is exactly what she’s carrying into 2026.
- A serious knee injury in October threatened to derail RUSTAD’s off-season preparation, but she’s working her way back to full fitness while juggling duties in the Norwegian Armed Forces. The torn cruciate ligament and meniscus damage would sideline anyone, but her steady rehabilitation progress and growing confidence suggest she’ll be ready when the lights go out at Anderstorp in May – and this time, she’s targeting those podium spots that felt so close last year.
