GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DORIANE PIN delivered the drive of the race at Barcelona, leading most of her middle stint with brilliant pace and defensive prowess against platinum-rated Dane Cameron, setting fastest lap and building 10+ second advantage despite multiple neutralizations.
  • The 2025 F1 Academy champion earned Goodyear Wingfoot Award for most valuable driver after securing third in LMP2 ProAm with Duqueine Team, only losing runner-up spot due to post-race 10-second VSC penalty on teammate Verschoor.
  • PIN’s return to prototypes after single-seater success proved seamless—her consistent 1:32-1:33 lap times and traffic management demonstrated she remains elite-level endurance material, making Duqueine immediate championship contenders alongside Roda and Verschoor.
  • Starting from Giorgio Roda’s dominant pole (1-second margin), the #30 crew controlled class pace throughout red-flagged, incident-filled race before Malthe Jakobsen’s late charge displaced them, though PIN had already established team’s podium credentials.

UPCOMING:

  • 4 Hours of Le Castellet – May 1-3, 2026
