GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ISABELL RUSTAD qualified eighth despite sitting just 0.65 seconds off pole, demonstrating the championship’s razor-thin margins. Q2 proved disastrous when cold tyres sent her into the gravel before setting a time, relegating her to 13th.
- Race 1 saw RUSTAD maintain eighth from lights to flag in the tight spec-Porsche field, acknowledging limited overtaking opportunities and the need for perfect car balance to advance through identical machinery.
- RUSTAD delivered a clinical recovery drive in Race 2, gaining positions off the line and capitalizing on Safety Car periods to climb from 13th to fifth—her second-best career series result.
- The Norwegian sits sixth in standings heading to Gelleråsen Arena (May 30-31) with pre-event testing planned to refine setup and continue her second-season momentum in Scandinavia’s premier one-make series.
UPCOMING:
- Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia Round 2 at Gelleråsen Arena, May 30-31, 2026
