GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LÉNA BÜHLER delivered a redemptive Barcelona performance, securing third overall with teammate Zack Scoular after last year’s opening-lap incident denied her a podium at the same circuit.
  • Starting from second on grid after R-Ace GP’s front-row lockout, BÜHLER executed clean restarts through multiple safety car periods, posting competitive 1:39s while defending from Lucas Fluxa’s challenges.
  • BÜHLER’s controlled opening stint set up the podium run, maintaining pressure on sister #85 car and posting fastest race laps before handing off to Scoular on lap 25.
  • Colin Queen’s late charge dropped the #86 to third in final minutes, but BÜHLER and Scoular’s consistent pace throughout earned crucial championship points heading to Paul Ricard on May 2.

UPCOMING:

  • Michelin Le Mans Cup – Circuit Paul Ricard, May 2, 2026
