LÉNA BÜHLER Fights for Victory Before Late Technical Failure at Le Castellet

May 5, 2026

• LÉNA BÜHLER executed another brilliant opening stint at Le Castellet, climbing from sixth to second in the first hour with consistent 2:01-lap pace, demonstrating growing confidence in her second LMP3 season.
• The Swiss driver and teammate Zack Scoular established themselves as genuine LMP3 contenders following Barcelona’s podium, showing closely-matched pace throughout practice and qualifying sixth for the race.
• Scoular maintained the fight after taking over, overtaking into second and closing within four seconds of the lead before a catastrophic rear wing failure on lap 43 destroyed victory hopes.
• Despite the heartbreaking retirement, BÜHLER sits fourth in championship standings with 15 points ahead of June’s Road to Le Mans, where she made history in 2025 as the first woman to win outright.
