CARRIE SCHREINER Climbs to P8, NINA ØSTEGAARD Takes Cup 4 Victory at Valencia

February 19, 2026

• CARRIE SCHREINER showcased the kind of grit we love, fighting back from early setbacks to claim eighth overall in Valencia’s endurance race. After contact forced an early retirement in race two, her team’s quick turnaround work gave her one final shot – and she delivered with smarts and a brilliant overtake in the infield section that put her back in contention.
• NINA ØSTEGAARD made her GT Winter Series debut count in a big way, securing Cup 4 class victory in the endurance race plus a podium finish earlier in the weekend. The Danish driver showed exactly the kind of consistency and pace control that wins championships, recovering from being spun in race two and capitalizing when penalties reshuffled the Cup 4 order in her favor.
• Weather chaos compressed the entire Valencia weekend into Sunday, creating the kind of pressure-cooker environment where experience matters most. While ØSTEGAARD navigated the condensed format like a veteran despite being series newcomer, SCHREINER’s weekend showed both the highs and lows of aggressive racing – her Turn 2 incident in race two a reminder that sometimes the fine line between brilliance and disaster comes down to millimeters.
