GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Reigning CS Am champion HANNAH CHAPMAN secured fifth in RS Am debut at Donington despite zero prior testing, securing last-minute sponsorship days before grid confirmation with Xentek Motorsport.
- CHAPMAN dominated 2025 CS Am with 14 wins from 18 races including nine straight victories, making the rear-wheel-drive transition successfully while regularly battling CS Pro competitors.
- Technical gremlins struck race one while pressuring for seventh, but CHAPMAN recovered to finish eighth, upgraded to seventh post-race after rival Matthew Kyle-Henney moved to RS Pro.
- Race two saw CHAPMAN pit lap one for repairs, rejoining one lap down but consistently improving pace to 1:09.275, matching race one speed despite deficit, finishing seventh in class.
- CHAPMAN passed Richard Hosking at race three start for sixth, then inherited fifth after red flag from Lydia Walmsley-James Seale incident, strong weekend progression on zero budget certainty.
UPCOMING:
- Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain – Oulton Park – June 6-7, 2026
